Actually, it was the radical idea of putting sugar (and, later, even milk) in chocolate that was a new thing. It was originally only made as a drink or a sauce, usually with chile, sometimes also a bit of vanilla.

That was actually meant in the computer programming sense, where it basically would stand in for whatever other kind of food. To be perfectly honest, though, I only know that myself because of the higher proportion of computer nerds on the xkcd fora than on here, and also thought it was weird the first time I saw it.

Mmm....Bacon...........
I swear it took me years to learn to cook bacon correctly without burning it. Brutal. It's like making gravy from screatch; only trial and error will help...........

For a very long and unfortunate period of my life I did not eat bacon, because it looked and smelled disgusting, so I imagined it couldn't possibly taste good. Then I tried it for the first time, realized how RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS it is, and now it smells great to me because the smell = I GET TO EAT BACON.
Bacon + chocolate is something I've never had, but it sounds viable, I'll have to try to mimic those cookies some time. Bacon + maple syrup is a pig/sugar combination that I already know works great (not that this one is as unusual), and I have multiple recipes based around the concept. Since I don't have any bacon in the house right now, though (sad day), I'm going to go experiment with the chocolate + garlic combination instead. I'll be back to post results soon.
Edit: HOLY MOTHER OF OM NOM NOM! Slick, for this suggestion you are officially a God among men.
Garlic Chocolate Sauce:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together:
4 tablespoons of heavy cream
1 tablespoon of butter
1 one-ounce square of unsweetened Baker's chocolate
3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
2 cloves of garlic, pressed
Pour over vanilla ice cream, devour, and die happy. This is all I had the energy/ingredients for at this time, I will be exploring other more complex chocolate + garlic combinations in the near future.
