Love someone who loves bacon? Skip the champagne truffles and send these bacon-infused chocolates instead. Inspired by a lifelong devotion to this tasty pork product (he ate raw bacon as a child and made bacon ice cream in culinary school), chef David Briggs crafts his unique candies without artificial flavors or preservatives. The most subtle of his creations has a chocolate shell enclosing a smooth, creamy, bacon-infused ganache and is garnished with a small sliver of candied bacon. It's sweet, savory, smoky and salty all at once... an intriguing mix of flavors that works better than you think. If you're adventurous, try his bacon caramel and pork satay chocolates. $11.85 for a box of four at AtTheMeadow.com.
