Nosh This

Stumbled upon Nosh This at Eat Real 2013, fast forward two and a half years later and my friends and I are still giving each other bacon crack for Christmas. The treats here are incredibly well executed. The balsalmic caramel… no words! If you’re thinking about stopping by, you won’t be sorry!

Hungry for bacon crack! Nosh this will get you for every bite. Satisfy your hunger pains with a small bag. Will take you along way. You gotta love bacon and dark chocolate!

Stellar good desserts. The owner is super nice and it’s located in a cool part of dogpatch. Kai is the man

Stumbled upon Nosh This at OTG Presidio and sampled their bacon crack. It was so cracktastic that we ended up purchasing the small square to share later on. The bacon crack is the perfect combo of salty & sweet. It’s a sinful hunk of dark Guittard chocolate, with toffee, smoked bacon and toasted almonds. The square was $ 3.50 and a four piece box is $ 14, and a bag of crack rocks is $ 10. It’s a splurge but worth it when the mood strikes.
Get some of that crack rock… bacon crack that is!

Bacon crack: toothsome and tangy. Meyer Lemon Salted Caramel: yes yes yes yes yes brilliant yellow strands of specialty lemon zest meet a tiny galaxy of grey salt crystals on top of a buttery, righteous dark chocolate-​coated caramel. The rich, slow sweetness and citrus and sea salt are together heartbreakingly delicious.
These are treats of substance AND dreams. Coalesce them together in your own mouth ASAP, is my advice.

Yum-​ola! Fresh, fancy, fun, and fantastic flavor. Prob my fave chocolatier in SF. Try the caramels w/​the beer pairing at the recently opened Triple VooDoo Brewery… it’s pretty freakin’ tasty.

This is the best among chocolate in San Francisco. Nosh This/​Kai is not afraid to experiment to push the limits. I love what he does with bacon, sea salt, caramel, chocolate and so much more.
It is my «oh you are in San Francisco and you haven’t tried Nosh This then you aren’t experiencing San Francisco.» True love here.

I was gifted Bacon Crack for Christmas and thought nothing of it. Finally today (5 days later) I opened it and tried it. OH MY GOD! I can’t believe I waited so long to try. Seriously one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth. I love the different tastes; the richness of the butte, r with the saltiness of the bacon and sea salt, dipped in chocolate that makes the best combination. I’m considering leaving my warm and comfy apartment now so I can have a look at the store. Best Christmas present this year! I highly recommend!

I love the chocolates SO MUCH. And I love the little piggy logo. It’s my spirit animal.

How does one properly convey the feeling that occurs when a ready mouth meets delicious chocolate?
Do you go slightly sexual with a tinge of erotic allure and finish off with an OMGaaah moment that makes you pass out with a stupid grin on your face? Or do you attempt to class it up and sing its praises in a way the Queen would have been proud of? The way I’m gonna do it is this way…
HOLY FRIGGIN’ SHIT!
I first discovered Nosh This at a Butchers and Beers event and kept making excuses to swing back by the table and shove more and more into my ever ready face. When I tasted it at a friend’s party, I loaded more than would be considered socially gracious on to my plate and hid in the corner like a wild animal eating its kill. When I saw it being sold locally, I bought it immediately. When my friend came over to visit, we fought over the last piece (duh, obviously I win!) and if there was one kind of sweet, edible bite that would close out my time on this globe, it will most likely be the bacon one. But the pepper one or the Rocky Road could be contenders too. And what’s this I hear about truffles possibly making their way into the Nosh This family someday! Pinch me on the ass and call me, Margaret!
Nosh This creator, Kai, is a genius and the love and care he puts into his products is one to be proud of. And this is coming from a later-​in-​life chocolate lover. I never understood what people foamed at the mouth over when drooling on and on about chocolate, but thanks to Nosh This. I get it. Man do I ever get it. I wanna get it more often!
Thanks Kaily Konka and Your Chocolate Factory! Keep doing what you’re doing! YUM!

Just had a taste of the bacon crack and frankly just don’t get the reviews. Love chocolate, love bacon but the combination here not working for me. Reminded me of a health energy bar just kinda blah.
To be fair have not tried any other products hope they’re better, perhaps this just wasn’t my taste.

Best salted caramels in SF — especially, as expected, the bacon chocolate caramels. The other ones — salt & pepper, balsamic and lemon meyer — are also delicious, but the bacon takes the cake.

I went to a neighberhood event in Potrero Hill and had the opportunity to try Nosh for the first time. I liked the bacon crack, which is a butter-​toffee with bacon and almonds that’s been dipped in chocolate. It was delicious enough to be addicted to. But I fell in love with the meyer lemon caramels. They smell wonderful and they have a clean citrus flavor with just the right hint of sweetness, not to mention the lovely attributes described on the website, they were «soft, chewy, and bursting with flavor». I didn’t try it, but I loved the sound of the rocky road which has homemade bourbon marshmallows, organic walnuts and Fleur de Sel. They are a future must try.

Caramel-​lovers dream! Mmmmmm… bought the boxes of meyer-​lemon, the bacon crack caramel and the 2-​pk balsamic sampler from the Eat Real Festival… OH MY! I’ve had their products before at the New Taste Marketplace event in the Dogpatch and hence had to re-​stock my cache of ‘drugs’.
I don’t plan on opening/​eating until Im around some friends because eating by oneself is just dangerous! Yummy goodness…

Concept? Brilliant.
Brain Child? A true San Francisco Character.
Taste? Trumps it all.
Bacon crack is better than the sum of its parts: bacon, chocolate and … crack. Ok, maybe there isn’t crack in there, but it *is* addicting. I appreciate that this is the mainstay, but the Myers Lemon squares of unadulterated awesome win for me.
Keep up the great work, Kai! Tell us all more about the Nosh This ice cream sundae sauce plans…

Bacon crack is seriously addictive, and delicious! Every time I have a piece of this wonderfully decadent yet well-​balanced chocolate it brings a little bliss into my life. Plus, it’s made with a local butter for the toffee and tons of other quality ingredients.
Bourbon Bacon Rocky Road? Also a winner.
Man, now my mouth is watering.

HOLY BACON BATMAN.
I received a an 8-​pack (which I wish were a 12-​pack) of the bacon salted caramels for Christmas (thanks Mair!)
This might be my favorite candy ever, if you are still reading this review then you probably don;t mind the thought of the combo of bacon, caramel, salt and chocolate, but if you are on the fence or just think it sounds gross, you are wrong. the bacon was subtle but definitely there as a flavor, the salt was crunchy, the carmel chewy — perfection.

In a crowded local foods marketplace on Day 2 of the 2011 Eat Real Festival I saw their big overhead sign and a crowd gathered at the table. There must be free samples I thought to myself and there certainly was. Free Bacon Crack noshing for all!
I remembered their name from a review that Luis C had written long ago, and unlike most of the crowd that had assembled I didn’t just take my free Crack and go. After perusing the items they had assembled on their table I decided to purchase several items to sample at home (
).
That night I sat down with a rather dull knife in hand (to cut my Crack), flicked on the Food Channel and enjoyed. Every item I purchased had phenomenal flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and really, who can complain about rich dark chocolate? I certainly can’t!
Bacon Crack (
) — Same as I sampled in the marketplace, but in a much bigger portion. Delicious butter toffee loaded with crunchy almonds and crispy bacon and covered in dark chocolate. Stupendous!
Bourbon Bacon Rocky Road (
) — Soft marshmallow, crushed walnuts and crispy bacon all fused together with the rich dark chocolate and a splash of bourbon. I actually enjoyed this a bit more than the Crack so much that I returned the next day to buy more! Monumental!
Meyer Lemon Salted Caramel (
) — Take a bite into one of these dark chocolate covered soft caramels and the first thing that hits your tongue is the little specks of coarse salt, but just as you’re adapting to the fusion of the salt and caramel the lemon zest hits your tongue. In terms of a lemon-​fused chocolate this one is truly a winner with big bold flavors of the sweet caramel, coarse salt and Meyer Lemons. Simply put, it’s Tremendous!
Check the «Retail Partners» of their website to see where you can find these delicious chocolates or you can order them directly from the website where the prices are slightly lower than they were at the Eat Real Festival.

I caught this guy on street food friday in front of fabric8. He was selling bacon crack, black peppercorn salted caramels, and chili frito pie. I was cold and hungry, so I ordered the chili frito pie.
It HIT THE SPOT. Oh man! The chili itself was great, and with all the toppings — cheese, tortilla chips, onions, cilantro, and sour cream — you can’t go wrong. I’m going throw in chips into my chili from now on!
I also sampled the bacon crack. It was good, but the sample was so small I didn’t even get withdrawal symptoms.

«Nosh This» is the latest brave entrepreneur to join SF’s street food vendor trend. That’s a great name! NT debuted last weekend at Garfield Park, selling sweet confections made with locally-​sourced organic ingredients ($ 2-​$ 2.50 each).
I bought the «Irish coffee on a stick»
— a cube of Bailey’s Irish Cream whiskey flavored fudge skewered together with a homemade marshmallow. A delicious little snack.
Also on the menu that day was a bowl of chili ($ 6) served with a corn bread muffin. I had already eaten that day, so I didn’t try that. Next Saturday @2pm, he’ll be at Patricia’s Green park in Hayes Valley. Check Twitter
