BPOW: Bacon Brazil Nut Toffee

June 10th, 2008 by timbotron

Palo Alto, CA.

Pampas – a new Brazilian churrasco restaurant.

Dessert menu item: “chocolate torte served with caramel ice cream, crème fraiche sauce, bacon Brazil nut toffee, smoked sea salt.”

Consulting Executive Pastry Chef: Marisa Churchill

The toffee is a nice blend – far better than other bacon chocolate combinations I’ve tried in the past – a good balance of texture (Brazil nuts and bacon) with pleasant sweetness (chocolate and toffee) and the finish of salty and smokey umami (bacon).

Overall Bacony Goodness Score: ***** 5/5
