I volunteered to bring a dessert to Thanksgiving this year. Talking about it with b_b, I decided that I should just go over the top.
This is my attempt to do that:
They wrap nicely.
But the hot bacon grease hurts your fingers.
Then you dip it in the chocolate.
Voila!
I actually haven't tried one yet. They were chilling overnight, and despite containing bacon, I didn't feel ready for one at breakfast.
I will report back.
UPDATE: I ate one. GODDAMN
How appropriate to see this after reading the "Why it was easier to be skinny in the 1980's" article
Honestly, I find the 'sinfully delicious' aspect of dessert in food culture hilarious. Every fancy restaurant has a dessert that they push as so indulgent that it is naughty. It's almost like drug addicts mixing chemicals in the effort to achieve the perfect high. These might be the dessert equivalent of speedballing.
I just ate my first. Holy shit, the crispy bacon fat part... The chocolate seems to remain pretty stable as I let them cool before dipping. Still, I am keeping them chilled. It cracked nicely, great mouthfeel. Next time I am pulling out the toothpicks before dipping them. As the bacon crisps, it holds the marshmallow, and the chocolate will seal the deal. Without the toothpick, you could just pop the whole thing in your mouth.
