I just read about a bonbon made by sweetening lard with honey...this is new to me but apparently not new at all.  She called them the Mangalitsa bonbon which apparently is the breed of pig that gave the lard. Another person referred to it as a Mangalica pig. May come from Hungary. Someone swears that you can find them in Chicago. The conversation happened HERE. As the person who made the elk's blood chocolate, I'm fascinated.
