UPDATE: Folks want to know where they can get their hands on this new and already famous baconso I asked the person who forwarded me this picture, our own Aaron Edge, where he got it. And, uh, perhaps I should’ve asked Aaron that before I posted this picture. Anyway, Edge found it at How To Avoid the Bummer Life, which found the chocolate at Marini’s in Santa Cruz.

UPDATE 2: There’s no chocolate-covered bacon available for sale on Marini’s website, so I gave the store a call just to make sure it wasn’t a hoax.

Still selling chocolate-covered bacon? Yes, we are. Why can’t I order it via your website? They only have selected items on the website, and the bacon is kind of new. We’ve only had it for a month or two. How does it taste? Is it as good as it looks? I don’t know. I don’t eat red meat. But it’s not red. It’s brown. True. But it’s really kind of a guy’s chocolate. Like a stunt chocolate? Yes. Do you sell a lot of it? Yes, it’s selling pretty good.

UPDATE 3: Aaron Edge has been a vegan for 17 years and he says he misses bacon more than anything.
