I know that Vosges has a bacon bar, but is there anywhere else I can find this? Thanks!!

Didn't the Simpsons cover this? *** Homer: "Dear lord, as I think of you dressed in white with your splendid beard, I am reminded of Colonel Sanders, who is now seated at your right hand, shoveling popcorn chicken into thy mouth. Lord, could you come up with a delicious news taste treat like he did? I command you." [Homer closes his eyes and claps his hands, and his car swerves into oncoming traffic. A hot fudge truck overturns, flooding the road, and then a Johnny Bench's Pre-cooked Bacon truck smashes into it. A piece of fudge-coated bacon lands on Homer's windshield, and he grabs it and takes a bite.] Homer Simpson: Mmmm. Move over, eggs. Bacon just got a new best friend — fudge. *** Keep us posted.

I heard that a bakery in Hillcrest does it, but wasnt sure if it was a regular item or not.

The people that make it are called Vosges and they also make some other chocolates with chile peppers, etc... Locally I have only seen their products at Cost Plus World Market but I haven't seen any of the bacon one there. You might ask a staff person. http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars Thu Feb 05 15:22:17 -0800 2009 4390220 91897 MrKrispy 2 4392076 Venissimo Cheese carries Vosges. Whole Foods in UTC does but they've been giving them less shelf space lately. :-( Thu Feb 05 21:24:33 -0800 2009 4391310 10853 daantaat 3 4393137 being $7-8 chocolate bars, not surprising haha Fri Feb 06 09:19:03 -0800 2009 4392076 91897 MrKrispy 4 4393265 Whole Foods in UTC has currently (at least yesterday when I bought one) a lot of Vosges (about 20 different selections, including the bacon one). They are close to the entrance. Fri Feb 06 09:54:56 -0800 2009 4393137 13239 honkman 5 4398370 Saw Vosges at Whole Foods in Hillcrest yesterday, near the gelato (which I see is now local)...never heard of Vosges before, so didn't notice the selection.

Swung by the UTC Whole Foods this weekend and looks like they got a new shipment of Vosges since I was there last. Got a nice sampler for a hostess gift. Sun Feb 08 17:44:39 -0800 2009 4393265 10853 daantaat 2 4393444 Bristol Farms also carries the Bacon chocolate bars -- I forget whether they are Vosges or somebody else's. Fri Feb 06 10:41:41 -0800 2009 4391310 62922 BruceT 3 4394623 I think Eclipse Chocolate on El Cajon Blvd has something chocolate and bacon--might be a truffle or might have been a cupcake.
