Nom or Vom: We start with pure milk chocolate, add a layer of farm-fresh honey, sprinkle on four kinds of sugar, and then dip it in rich creamery butter.

I like chocolate. I like cheese. I like triple chocolate cupcakes, and I like extra cheese on my pizza. Hell, I like a slice of cheddar cheese after eating a slice of apple pie–sometimes ON said pie. If it’s the artery-clogging, blood sugar raising, bastard lovechild of a passionate mating between Wilford Brimley and Paula Deen that took place in a hot tub of bubbling trans fat oil, give it to me now.

What I’m saying here is that I’m no stranger to the delicious marriage of salty and sweet when it’s consummated in my mouth. Even chocolate and cheese together in one place are not unknown to me: chocolate cheesecakes are awesome, and in Wisconsin, we have an amazing smooth cream cheese fudge that goes by the unappetizing nickname “Chudge”.

But I look at sharp white cheddar and dark chocolate swirled together in bar form and I shudder a little. However, my opinion on the matter is not the only one that counts. Am I wrong? Is this a taste sensation?

Would you eat this?

    It’s like apple pie and sharp cheddar… it shouldn’t go together, but it does.

      Really? Cream cheese, marscapone, vlaskaas, maybe even goat cheese with chocolate I could get behind, but I’m mind-tasting cheddar with dark chocolate and coming up “blech”.

    We bought some but haven’t tried it yet, so for the first time ever in one of these, I vote Nom in one of these. (We did buy the smallest one we could find for sampling purposes.)

    Also check out Carr Valley’s Cocoa Cardona, which is awesome. I read an article about this one and apparently it came about because the dairy-master would get too busy to eat real lunches and would wrap a Hershey bar in Swiss cheese and eat it. (Carr Valley is my favorite dairy. Benedictine is to die for. You must check them out next time you’re back here.)

      This is the first time Nom is winning by a landslide!

    I would definitely try it, if it was offered to me. But I probably wouldn’t spend money on it!

      That’s my criteria for a lot of food–if it seems kind of iffy, I’ll probably try it if it’s offered but otherwise I wouldn’t pay for it.

    Oddly enough, I JUST had some of this within seconds of reading this post. It’s actually pretty tasty. The chocolate is pretty mild and blends well with the creamy flavor of the cheese.
