Either there is something wrong with the colour balance on my monitor or the 'bacon' that they used for the wrapper looks more like regular chocolate after its passed through someone. sick2:

I was intrigued too, but not at £6+ per bar
When I first saw chocolte mousse with Maldon sea salt on a menu I thought "no way". But as everything on the menu that evening was spot-on, I gave it a try cloud9:

I can see me having a crack at this tonight..
Chocolate Chili Bites
- 200g (2 sticks) butter
- 200g (7oz) good-quality dark chocolate
- 250g (1 1/4 C) sugar
- 5 eggs
- a rounded Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 tsp ground chili (I use piment d'Espelette -- adjust to your taste and to the strength of your chili)
(Yields 72 mini bites.)
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Melt the butter with the chocolate in a small saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave. If melting in the microwave, be sure to do it slowly, blending with a spoon between each pass.
Transfer into a mixing bowl, add in the sugar, mix with a wooden spoon and let cool a little. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well with the spoon after each addition. Add a rounded tablespoon of flour and the chili and mix well.
Pour the dough in the petit four molds, and put into the oven to bake for ten to twelve minutes. The top should look set, but the inside should still be on the soft side.
Let the the mini bites cool down enough to unmold them, then turn them out on a rack to cool completely while you cook the other batches. Store in a plastic container, refrigerate, and take out about an hour prior to serving the next day.

Nah, I'm thinking about ramping the chilli content up though as certain colleagues have a tendency to help themselves when they think nobody is looking..... whistle:
Did that a while back with a bag of jellybeans 'boobytrapped' with a load of jalopeno flavoured ones. eveilgrin:
