As warm weather approaches, it’s time to embrace the joys of summer treats. At my place, we’ve always enjoyed putting a twist on traditional delights. For example, I swap out graham crackers for peanut butter cups because let’s face it, those hard, honey-flavored things are overrated. One day, my kids suggested using chocolate chip cookies instead of the classic ingredients, and I thought, “Why not?” Clearly, I raised some culinary innovators!
The beauty of s’mores lies in their versatility. With fewer outings this summer, we’re bound to have more s’mores nights, and there’s something comforting about roasting marshmallows over a fire. So when I discovered the concept of bacon s’mores, I was intrigued. It felt like a daring twist on a beloved classic, and I was eager to see how it would turn out.
For those who enjoy rich flavors, these bacon-infused treats take indulgence to a whole new level. Many people talk about how rich certain desserts can be, but I have an insatiable sweet tooth and can devour frosting straight from the jar. However, I was still a bit hesitant about how well bacon would pair with chocolate and marshmallows.
The foundation of this creation is two bacon crackers made from six strips of bacon, cut in half and woven together. Before baking, sprinkle them with brown sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Just a heads up: keep an eye on them as they cook to ensure even crispiness.
Once your bacon crackers are ready, you can choose to drain them on paper towels or let the bacon grease mix with the chocolate and marshmallow—totally up to your taste preference. I opted for a classic Hershey’s chocolate, but I kind of wish I had used Ghirardelli caramel squares instead. The warmth from the bacon helps the chocolate melt even more than usual, creating a gooey delight that is perfect for a Friday night.
Surprisingly, the bacon didn’t overpower the flavor; it complemented the chocolate and marshmallow beautifully. Be warned, though: these are incredibly rich, and you might find yourself craving water afterward.
Interestingly, my youngest child, who usually shuns new foods, devoured these bacon s’mores. The older two were less impressed, which meant more for the rest of us!
While these s’mores require a bit more effort than simply tossing together a classic version, they are absolutely worth it. We’ll definitely be making them several times this summer—especially if I have leftover bacon from breakfast or just need a sweet treat to brighten my day.
Even if bacon isn’t your go-to flavor, if you’re a fan of sweet-and-salty combinations, these will excite your palate. The bacon weaves are versatile enough to hold any chocolate you desire, and you can even prepare them ahead of time, storing them in the fridge until you’re ready to indulge.
