Bacon dipped in chocolate v. chocolate covered bacon
I don't want to cause a panic, but this seems to be an issue we need to clarify. Is chocolate covered bacon the same as bacon dipped in chocolate? I think we need to clarify. Including the photo. This is a dark time for the bacon cabal, I think we've been duped. I'm willing to accept chocolate dipped bacon as a modification, but clearly we have no business passing this derivative version as the real thing. The DYK hook may need to be tweaked also?

- The Associated Press says "chocolate-covered bacon", the Today show says "chocolate-covered bacon", and the Minnesota State Fair says "chocolate-covered bacon" so other than the thought that maybe this article needs a hyphen in its name (other usage is mixed, so it's an open question), I think we can all believe in liberty, justice, and chocolate-covered bacon. - Dravecky (talk) 03:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- I don't want to get all professorlike here, but the hyphenation is required by standard English usage. (This applies to chicken-fried bacon as well.) Now, I don't think we have to worry so much about dipping vs. covering: if you dip, you cover! Drmies (talk) 04:09, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with the doctor, except for the willy-nilly hyphenation...well I don't know about the hyphenation, but I am not going to argue...Anyway I don't think there is any significant difference between bacon that is sold with the chocolate on it, or the do-it-yourself kind, the end product is the same.--kelapstick (talk) 05:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- Is it good, that end result? Maybe I'll tell you tomorrow... Drmies (talk) 05:58, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- The darkness is upon us... Check out the Flikr photos. Chocolate covered bacon is immersed in chocolate, toppings are often added, and it's allowed to cool. The state fair version is a cheap knock-off version that employs mere dipping. I let my guard down for a short while and now look at the trouble we're in. Where's the red phone, I'm calling Kofi Annan and Boutros Boutros Ghali. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:39, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if another image is needed, but this article inspired me to make some and I snapped a picture.

- I support it's use, I'm just not sure exactly where. Can you clarify that this is bacon drizzled with chocolate? It's not hot fudge sauce is it? Just trying to get the description exactly right. Drmies is very exacting... ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:37, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- I melted a Hershey's chocolate bar and poured it over the bacon. Hot fudge? Now that would be weird. :P Law shoot! 03:45, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Health issues?
Just hearing of the existence of this kind of "food" clogs my arteries.
I believe there should a section on the nutritional facts of this dish. Likeminas (talk) 22:29, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
