The weather is finally starting to warm up. This summer mix up your classic s’mores with a savory twist, add bacon! You can make it gluten-free by using the bacon lattice as the base or simply tuck a few pieces of cooked bacon in with the marshmallow and chocolate between your traditional graham crackers.
(Bacon S’more)
Bacon S’mores
- 16 thick-cut slices of bacon
- 8 large marshmallows
- 8 small bars chocolate (about 1in x 2in pieces)
- 8 large graham crackers broken in half (optional)
To make the bacon lattice:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut bacon pieces in half. On a foil-lined sheet pan create lattice squares. Using 4 of the cut pieces alternate them creating an overlapping lattice in a small square about 4x4inches. Repeat with the remaining bacon pieces.
(raw bacon lattice)
Bake for 10 minutes and carefully flip squares. Bake another 5-10 minute until crisp, drain on paper towels.
To assemble on one crisp bacon lattice place a chocolate bar, top with hot roasted marshmallow and top with another bacon lattice piece and enjoy! Repeat with the remaining pieces.
Makes 8 servings.
*You can also just cook the bacon normally and add it to the traditional s’more as you would add the chocolate.
