Will chocolate-covered bacon sizzle?

No racing pigs were harmed in the making of the Wisconsin State Fair's hottest new food on a stick.

That's right: Chocolate-covered bacon is finally here.

During the fair's 11-day run, which begins Thursday, employees at the Machine Shed will work around the clock to keep up with demand - skewering bacon, baking it, cooling it and then dunking it in milk chocolate before sprinkling it with sea salt, said general manager Terry Waite.

The Machine Shed expects to sell 80,000 sticks of chocolate-covered bacon during the fair, fueled by media hype from ESPN, CNN and even Conan O'Brien's opening monologue on "The Tonight Show" this week.

O'Brien joked that it's "perfect for Wisconsin residents who are in the mood for something light."

The salty-sweet bacon strip on a stick is bound to be the buzz among fairgoers gathered to root for the racing pigs one block from the Machine Shed stand.

But if the pig race announcer says the losers will become chocolate-covered bacon, don't believe him.

We caught up with the owner of the pigs that race for Cheese Doodles and asked him to taste the sweet bacon on a stick Wednesday, as the pigs were warming up for their five-a-day race schedule.

Food on a stick: Chocolate-covered bacon

Cost: Two sticks, one slice of bacon per stick, for $3

First impression: "Mmmm. Wow. This is an awesome combination of sweet and salty. Who knew? Just don't tell the pigs. I don't need them squealing on me."

Degree of eating difficulty: "If you keep your hands off the chocolate, like I should have, it's easy to eat."
