I’m crazy about bacon. And I’m not alone. Suggestions keep pouring in for my quest to find 1,001 things to do with bacon -- thanks to everyone who took the time to write. Just when we think we’ve heard everything, something new comes along. Which brings us to....

No. 13: Cover it in chocolate.

Leslie Cooper, owner of LUCA Chocolate in North Carolina, sent us a small care package including chocolate-covered strips of bacon and bits of bacon covered in chocolate AND caramel. We brought them out into the newsroom, and they were pretty much inhaled.

Clearly, bacon-loving minds think alike: Check out Leslie’s blog posting on her inspiration. Covering bacon in chocolate was also suggested to us by John-Bryan Hopkins, who writes the Foodimentary101 blog. (If you follow him on Twitter, he delivers fun daily food facts).

For a few other suggestions, and the rest of the list, click below....

No. 14: Make chocolate cupcakes with bacon cream cheese frosting
