thanks for destroying beer and bacon.

Sprinkle chocolate chips on pizzas, very tasty. Vosges' Mo's Bacon bar on a grilled cheese is amazing. Adding a bit of chocolate instead of sugar to Italian red sauces is fairly common in your house.

Chocolate-dipped potato chips are very good. You get the crispiness and salt of the chip with the smooth sweetness of chocolate... yum.

Quinoa is a pretty neutral ingredient and can go either savory or sweet, like rice, nuts, popcorn...

Avocado is a typical raw food/vegan dessert ingredient, so I can see that. My bet for tastiest is the chocolate and goat cheese - dive into the richness mmmmm!

I learned to love sweet avocado when I lived in Brazil. There, avocado is known as a desert food. Avocado ice cream is delicious! Avocado pudding can be made in the blender either with milk or lime.

Oh let's just face it, chocolate goes with everything~
My favourite though is 70% - 80% dark chocolate with a rich Oolong tea such as Da Hong Pao.

That's just wrong. Chocolate and avocado??? Wrong! I'd be willing the give the bacon covered chocolate a bash, but even that sounds bloody awful. I suppose Mole was just too common for this list, but chilli chocolate bars are pretty heavenly.

Actually the chocolate avocado cake is really good. You don't actually taste any avocado. It makes the cake really moist.

I tried chocolate covered bacon at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, couldn't believe how good that was. Too rich to eat a lot of it though.

When I went to cooking school, we were taught that if you start a sentence with "it might sound gross, but . . . " you probably need to rethink your menu . . .

Chocolate and beer isn't anything new. Fudge and dark chocolate pairs very well with Doppel Bock, stouts, and porters. Bacon and chocolate, the candy bar of meat meets the the stuff of candy bars!

When a woman craves something sweet and sour, you do know what that means, don't you?

I make a great chocolate "cream" pie with avocado and silken tofu, it's awesome!!

My boyfriend likes to make chocolate covered bacon, which I find repulsive and wrong, but then again I don't eat meat. Maybe I'll try the fakin' bacon with chocolate. Or maybe not.
