    You cheated! White chocolate is not chocolate! It’s cocoa butter, milk solids and sugar.

    I think you should redo the test with actual chocolate. I’m just sayin…

    I’m not sure we can hang out anymore. You two are really dangerous in the kitchen. And our little convo the other night…well, this might be a deal breaker, ladies.

    J.K., sorta.

    You need dark chocolate! Good golly the white chocolate is so absolutely not the right chocolate that I think some kitten somewhere died when you put the white chocolate in your mouth.

    If you’re not sure why anyone would say that you should do a taste test between white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate. But PLEASE don’t buy the waxy Hershey’s chocolate for the test.

    umm….i just can’t believe you actually spent your hard-earned money to try such a shame to the glorious names of both bacon and chocolate.

    and also, your hubby is both hilarious and disgusting. bacon grease????????

    You guys are TOO funny! (BTW, I’m not a huge chocolate fan–I know, take away my GIRL card–but the chocobacon looked quite yummy until you added sprinkles.) :)

    Yes, it’s been said, but white chocolate? Why?

    Kudos to you for trying something so foul (and actually choking it down), but that wasn’t real chocolate… it was cocoa butter solids. I did love the bacon chaser though…

    And the end… wow. That’s some love of bacon! I nearly gagged. You guys are too funny!

    Thanks for sacrificing yourself to do this, and for sharing it with the rest of us!

      Why? Because I had white baker’s chocolate already, and didn’t wanna waste $5 buying milk or dark chocolate… I happily, honestly, and realistically blame it all on the recession.

        If you’d only asked, I would have gladly shipped over some delicious dark chocolate to dip that crispy bacon into…

        But that likely wouldn’t have been nearly as hilarious.

    Since my REAL comment has been eaten by the spam monster (and it #prorably should be too), I’ll just add my disdain to the use of white chocolate for this experiment.

    And Diane is sitting here agreeing with me.

    That said, the video is just about the funniest thing we’ve ever seen.

    Mmmmmmm…hot bacon juice.

    But to improve it…hot bacon chocolate juice. ;)

    1. makes me miss you and your kitchen.
    2. makes me miss drew and his jokes (facial hair oddities aside)
    3. made me want to vomit when he drank the grease. as you would say, “that ain’t right.”

    wow.

    You guys have so much fun together will you adopt me. You won’t even have to potty train me. Although in a few years I might need to start using diapers(depends) again. :)

    I do save the bacon grease and re-use it when I fry anything. Much more flavor than butter.

    Drew is a little crazy, maybe a lot crazy. :) I have never drunk hot bacon grease, but I have used the cooled off hardened grease on bread, in place of butter.

    I have eaten fried crickets, in Hong Kong, so maybe you could make that your next cooking video.

    Wow! I’m not sure if that would have cured my bacon deficiency or created a whole new problem!
    And I can’t decide which is my favorite quote: “Bacon is a vehicle for grease” from Drew or “It’s just not right” from you!
    I take it y’all were EXTREMEly bored.
    The hidden track, well, that could have stayed hidden. Ain’t drinkin’ something I instinctively pour into a used can or cup and throw in the garbage, but hey, some folks roll differently!
    Thanks for sharing your culinary antics with us!

        I had a DOH! moment just now. I get the experiment now from reading your post from the 13th. Sorry about that!
        Guess we all have our lack of reading comprehension moments.
        So y’all didn’t try it out of boredom. Glad y’all had fun!

    I have to jump in and say I agree with all these other haters… white chocolate is just not the same. I request a do-over. And… no sprinkles! Come on, you know you want to.

    Just so you don’t feel bad, I am really impressed with your braveness for trying this experiment. And please tell me Drew didn’t really drink the cup of grease.

    Oh, and Drew looks like he belongs in a Western movie of some sort with that facial hair. Maybe Tombstone or 3:10 to Yuma.

        Diane and I were thinking it brings out the Matthew McConaughey in him…

        Which is weird, since Mr Mc doesn’t usually have a porn mo…but when he does, it must be this good.

          I was SO thinking the entire video that he reminded me of Matthew McConaughey!!! [although I'm assuming Drew wears deodorant, which puts him ahead of Matthew in my book...]

          While my first thought was that it shouldn’t have been white chocolate [sorry, but everyone here is right about that] I would never ruin a perfectly cooked piece of chewy bacon by adding chocolate. It ain’t right.

          And I think you guys should have a reality show when Drew becomes a pastor somewhere. Seriously. Y’all are funny.

            Matt McC? Really?? LOL!!! Well… Good thing I think he’s cute and always plays the same charming funny character. :) (Matt, that is)

            A reality show? Trust me. Y’all would be bored. I cut out 4 minutes of nothingness in the vid. ;)

    can we do these videos regularly?

    like maybe monthly?

    possibly even get other people involved. challenging them to come up with their own crazy concoction and putting the vid up?

    maybe? maybe not?

    but mostly maybe.
