This is so.... not you. So I love it.

The idea came from us riffing on the stupid shit people wrap with bacon. I didn't think he'd actually go through with it. It's simultaneously a practical joke and a sincere holiday effort. Beautiful.

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.

Dude, the presentation on this shit is pure black tar heroin. Be sure to keep them refrigerated as I'll bet the temper on that chocolate is utterly blown.

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.

If he prettied them up they would be a Pinterest superstar.
