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! read more

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... read more

Nosh This - box of bacon crack, meyer lemon $18/box and balsamic caramel sampler - Desserts Near Me

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 (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Ogk7oGg3vvKb40fBoZ0sVg?select=GkhaW9j3uqTL84PcfqOs5Q). 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 (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Ogk7oGg3vvKb40fBoZ0sVg?select=0PmdtP_COLzGVdOSoDbewg) - 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 (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Ogk7oGg3vvKb40fBoZ0sVg?select=-BWO6oxsyi-WaedF4Vx5eg) - 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 (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Ogk7oGg3vvKb40fBoZ0sVg?select=FW7CmOXwssm9w5ts-ZxAWg) - 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. read more

"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). http://media1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Z-Ml8Be3nGnTLZ5uk0yHkA/l I bought the "Irish coffee on a stick" http://media1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/IZX0l-Diltkta6t2QuwpfQ/l - 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 http://twitter.com/NoshThis or Facebook for updates. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

the Nosh vendor was busy wrapping recently made chocolates into cellophane wrappers and labeling them when i chanced upon him. "shouldn't you be wearing gloves?" i asked. " i forgot them. my hands are clean". he said. indeed they were. locale: new taste marketplace (3/12) chocolates available -bacon crack - bacon...... -black peppercorn salted caramel. sampling: black peppercorn salted caramel (2 pieces/$3) -intense salt sensation with peppercorn buzz and caramel stickum. -distinct flavors of peppercorn, zesty salt and caramel very evident. foodnotes: -bacon procured from petaluma farms , organic, sustainable, humane. -only saw 3 chocolates..... read more

A friend sent me some bacon and lavender crack from Nosh This as a pick-me-up during this time of shelter. A freakin' wonderful surprise! I've never had them before and didn't know what to expect. Let me say that I was hesitant on both accounts. Bacon in my chocolate?! Lavender in my dessert...? I was iffy, to say the least, although I do LOVE chocolate. Thank GOODNESS the bacon crack comes in a 4-piece set! I could literally eat a vat of it, of course, not feeling well afterwards...but it's that damn good and addictive. The "problem" is that it sticks in your teeth so you're like "I'm not going to have another one" and walk away but the salt and fat and sweet just stay in your mouth and you're obsessing and then you go in again for another. A horribly delicious cycle of insanity! As for the lavender, I have never liked flowers in my food. Rose in desserts or jasmine in my tea are not my favorites, so I procrastinated on that one, as well. Thankful that the bag was small. I inhaled the pieces in 1 sitting. haha Again...IT'S SO GOOD!!! The flavors and the chocolate consistency are SO AMAZING. I will be buying these products as gifts for friends and definitely want to consume (a TON) again in the near future! Thankful for my friend for the wonderful gift and for Kai for making amazing treats. =) read more

Bacon crack is the best bacon brittle I've had. Better than Vosges' by a long shot. Bacon rocky road was the perfect balance of chocolate, nuts, marshmallows and bacon. These were the best rocky road candies I've ever had. The quality of the ingredients makes all the difference. The bacon caramels were very smoky, with a deep bacon umami backbeat. I've had Snake and Butterfly (Sunnyvale CA)'s bacon caramels, which were more bacon forward (weird to write, but...true), but I like both Nosh This and Snake and Butterfly's bacon caramels. Don't make me choose - make me taste test! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Bacon. And toffee. And chcocolate. What else do I need to say? Excellent quality and a very nice fellow. Delicious. Can't wait to get some more. read more

I ordered online the Assorted Salted Caramels and 3 Little Pigs (two pieces of Bacon Crack, two pieces of Bacon Salted Caramel and one piece of Bourbon Bacon Rocky Road). They were delivered perfectly fine even though it was quite hot here these days. First of all, the packaging itself looks so neat and pretty that it could be a special gift for someone you love. The taste is just out of this world.. I've consumed countless caramels and toffee, but these treats have such a subtle sweetness and saltiness (and the smokey bacon flavor of course!). Tooth aching sweetness is not the case when it comes to devouring Nosh This! In addition to that, they use high percentage dark chocolate (72%) for covering their product. Nothing can go wrong. My favorite is the Bacon Crack and all the caramels, especially the Salt and Pepper, but everything tastes so good! It's really hard to play favorites! I will definitely re-order some in the near future but am planning to visit their store when I visit SF this year. As a dessert snob, I highly recommend this place. If you love artisan sweets you should absolutely try Nosh This! read more

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... read more

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. read more

I bought a piece of "bacon crack" at Off the Grid (Presidio Picnic) this morning, because who can resist a name like that! The prices are on the steep side ($4 for a little square), but given that they're handmade, local, sustainable, etc. etc. etc. - and the thing is super dense - it's definitely worth a try! I was surprised at how crunchy it was; for some reason I had pictured more of a caramel, but this is definitely a toffee. Which is great, because I love toffee but don't get it often. It works great with the smokiness of the bacon. Tasty! read more

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. read more

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

It's been a long time since anything has stirred my numb palate. Saturday night I had the pleasure of indulging in some of nosh's delectables. There is nothing like having a treat such as bacon crack after a long night of imbibing cocktails. Now, if something as sweet and savory had awoken my slumbering beast, I could imagine what else on the menu can suffice my vehement insatiable appetite!!! Sabor! All I can say is give me more. Feed me. Show me the path to ecstacy and I'll be sure your name and legacy will go viral underground, throughout the streets, and possibly world wide baby! Yayyyyyyyyyyeeaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

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. read more

While wandering along Valencia with friends looking for a nice sit-down meal at 10:30 on a Friday night, we zoomed past the "Nosh This" food cart. Being a caramel addict, my reptilian brain spun my feet around before I had a chance to consciously process the Bacon Salted Caramels and Balsamic Salted Caramels on the chalkboard menu. Finding a place to seat us at that hour could be iffy; I quickly bought a package of each so if nothing else, at least dessert would be a sure thing. After a lifetime of caramel eating, I have to say that at this point NT caramels are among the best I've tasted. The caramel itself has just the right amount of soft chewiness when your teeth crack through surrounding layer of dark chocolate; sprinkled with grey sea salt, the flavors and textures meld into a rich, buttery, and satisfying sweetness. This is complemented perfectly with a distinct but subtle balsamic essence in one, and the light crunch and smoky flavor of bacon in the other. Some of the best things in life are by chance - if you love caramels and see this cart, don't pass it up! read more

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! read more

Nosh This just did chocolates for a sales incentive program and they were a huge hit. Our division president said eating them was ecstasy! I will be using Nosh This again whenever possible. read more

After seeing reviews on yelp we decided to grab some chocolate. Turns out this place is hard to find. You need to go into a building, up an elevator, and find the door with the "knock loudly if you want some chocolate" sign. It was worth the hunt!! The almond crack is amazing!! It is sweet, salty, and the perfect combination. I have been seeing this chocolate pop up at other stores, so you can definitely find it around town. Soooo good. read more

Two words: balsamic caramel. I know I know, the man makes fantastic Bacon Crack, but I like the Balsamic Caramels the best so far. His Rocky Road ain't bad either. I hear he's working on new stuff, too. Can't wait to try! read more

Hot chocolate with a choice of vanilla or chocolate marshmallows? You just made my favorite person in the whole world smile with delight! And, the drink was yummy too! read more

I had dinner at the "Nosh This" popup at 20th and Valencia last night -- AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!

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! read more

Sad to see them go! One of the best independent small businesses in SF. Amazing Chocolate! Love the lemon caramels and pistachio crack.

Nosh's bacon brittle (aka bacon crack) is off the chain. This is very high grade stuff right up there with Hooker's salted caramels. I was very impressed with the candy concoctions I tried at his stand in Hayes over the weekend. Boozy, savory, and britttly. It's rare you can get your cocktail on a stick. Definitely check out these street treats when you can. read more

I love supporting street food vendors like this! Offering vegan soups and a few homemade confections including bacon crack! I had his vegan corn chowder which was served on top of tortilla chips and with a cilantro jalapeño purée. Absolutely excellent. I love soups and I am not vegan, but I am lactose intolerant and this significantly reduces my soup choices. I love that he offers soups without cream or milk but without compromising taste. I wish he had a twitter so I know where he is! read more

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! read more

WOW- beyond amazing assorted salted caramels .. Loved them all !! Basalmic vinegar just so yummy .. All flavors so perfect

If dare wrote about the actual effect of Bacon Crack on my body, this review would be censored. Truly the best chocolate ever. At first I was a bit hesitant about the combo of bacon and chocolate, but after my first bite, I realized everything is better with bacon. Ecstasy. read more

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. read more

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

I ordered the Bacon Crack and Salt and Pepper Caramels for a party and I barely got to eat them myself! They were so popular with my guests that everyone was asking where I got them, who made them, and how they could get their hands on some themselves. Definitely worth the extra bit for the amazing specialty cuisine experience. read more

Wow this Bacon Crack is very good and i will definitely order from them again. A single piece of this Bacon Crack is a good gift for a bacon lover! read more
