    Maple Bacon S’mores

    Maple Bacon S'mores

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    So, I’m not really one to get wrapped up in the whole March Madness thing.  I put together a bracket once in college, but haven’t attempted one since.  I guess I’m just not that excited about basketball.  Marsh Madness is an entirely different story.  When Quirk Books asked me if I wanted to compete against 15 other bloggers in a marshmallow making contest, I was like, “Uhhhh… … … Yeah!”  Making homemade marshmallows has been on my foodie to-do list for a while now, so I jumped at the chance to participate in the competition.  I was tasked to prepare some sort of marshmallow creation based upon the original vanilla recipe found in Shauna Sever’s Marshmallow Madness.  Continue reading to see what I came up with.  Also, I’m giving away 3 copies of Marshmallow Madness.  Details below.

    Of the many variations on vanilla marshmallows found in Shauna’s book, one in particular really spoke to me.  Maple.  Bacon.  Yes, that’s right.  A maple flavored marshmallow studded with salty-sweet bits of candied bacon.  Yum.

    Maple Bacon Marshmallows

    To make this recipe my own, I decided to blow torch the marshmallows till caramelized, top with bittersweet chocolate then sandwich between two honey-sweet, homemade graham crackers.  Aka. Maple Bacon S’mores.  I’ve always enjoyed the combination of bacon and chocolate, so this pairing seemed natural to me.  Sprinkled with raw sugar and smoked sea salt, my homemade graham crackers accent the flavors of the mallow while providing a most satisfying, buttery crunch.  This project may seem a bit in depth, but I urge to spend some time on a weekend putting together these whimsical confections.  You won’t be sorry.

    A few notes on making marshmallows.  I found the process fairly easy; however, some special equipment is needed.  Before attempting this recipe, be sure you have a candy thermometer and a stand mixer.    Also, the marshmallows require a 6 hour rest period, so plan your time accordingly.  I prepared my mallows in the evening then finished them off the next morning.

    Continue on for the recipe and giveaway.

    Servings 1 dozen big s'mores

    Ingredients
      

    • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, divided (1/8 for bacon, 1/8 for marshmallows)
    • 6 slices hickory smoked bacon
    • Unflavored cooking spray
    • 4 1/2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
    • 1/2 cup cold water
    • 2/3 cup white sugar
    • 1/2 cup maple syrup (use the high quality stuff here)
    • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
    • 1/4 cup water (filtered or bottled preferably)
    • 1/3 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
    • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 1/3 cup corn starch
    • Graham crackers, for serving (preferably homemade)
    • Bittersweet chocolate, for serving

    Instructions
     

    • Start by making candied bacon. Preheat your oven to 350°F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Combine light brown sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon on a plate, using your hands to mix. Rub each slice of bacon with cinnamon sugar until evenly coated. Lay strips of bacon on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until deeply caramelized. Let cool then finely chop. Measure out 1/2 cup (1 1/2 oz.) for the marshmallows and set aside. Save remainder for snacking.
    • Lightly coat a 8 by 8 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Use a paper towel to wipe away any excess spray.
    • Combine gelatin and cold water in a small bowl, whisking to combine. Let stand for at least 5 minutes.
    • In a medium saucepan, combine white sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup, water and sea salt, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to boil until the mixture reaches 240°F. If the mixture starts to bubble up too much, lower the heat. Once the mixture reaches 240°F, take it off the heat.
    • Microwave the gelatin on high for 30 seconds. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on low for a moment then slowly pour in the hot syrup mixture. Increase the speed to medium (number six on my mixer) and beat for 5 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high (number eight) and beat for 3 minutes. Add 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon then beat on the highest speed possible (number ten) for 1 minute.
    • Using a silicon spatula, quickly fold in the candied bacon bits. Pour the marshmallow into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. In a small bowl, combine confectioner's sugar and corn starch, whisking to combine. Sift a few spoonfuls of the sugar-starch mixture evenly over the marshmallow. Set aside the rest of the sugar-starch mixture to use once the marshmallows are cut.
    • Let the marshmallow set for at least 6 hours in a cool, dry place. Run a sharp knife along the edges of the pan to release the marshmallow. Invert onto a cutting board. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the slab (I used a 2 1/2 inch round) or use a sharp knife to cut the slab into even pieces. Finish by dusting each piece with the sugar-starch mixture. I found the easiest way to do this was to put the cut marshmallows in a medium mesh basket strainer (see picture above) set over the bowl containing the sugar-starch mixture. Sprinkle with the pieces with the mixture then use your hands to toss. Repeated until marshmallows are evenly coated.
    • To serve, roast marshmallows over an open flame or carefully caramelize with a blow torch. Top with a piece of bittersweet chocolate then sandwich between two graham crackers.

I would definitely choose s’mores as my favorite marshmallow treat. I hope to have s’mores cupcakes for my birthday this year!

      I started playing with marshmallows while living in Wyoming (9 month winters will do that to you!). Experimented with flavoring, dipping, and cooking with them – and am so happy to see all the new ideas on what to do with a great, homemade marshmallow! My favorites are the classics . .. chocolate-covered, caramel-dipped . .. but they make a great swizzle stick(on a stick, of course) in my hot chai lattes, too!

      I like to put marshmallows in my ice cream. They taste the best if you get cotton candy or smores ice cream. I put the marshmallows in a bowl, warm them up in the microwave for about 20 seconds, mix them in a bowl of ice cream and enjoy some fluffy ice cream. The combination of the textures and taste explode in your mouth.

      I like marshmallows on their own; Just a simple sweet treat. But I am pretty sure I’ll be loving the maple bacon smores.

      My favorite is just plain old marshmallows roasted over an open fire. However, give a choice between those and your s’mores, your recipe wins hands down!

      And, my favorite treat with marshmallows is definitely s’mores! Every few weeks my friends and I get together at our one friend’s house (who has a fire pit in her backyard) to roast marshmallows and make s’mores… mmm!

      I love to make homemade candy bars with homemade marshmallows. My favorite was homemade marshmallows with shortbread/graham cracker cookie covered in chocolate with sea salt!

      These look AWESOME! I love marshmallows. I found this recipe when searching for one after a dream I had about marshmallows. Not kidding. I love them so much I dream about them. I like to eat the fresh ones straight up, but otherwise combined with chocolate in any fashion works for me!

      I guess I’m too late for the contest, but I wanted to say your smores look delicious! My weakness is I love chocolate cupcakes filled with marshmallow creme!

      These marshmallows sound killer. I know its a super late response to when you posted this recipe but I was out of the country and not doing anything blog related. Glad that I saw them now as I totally want a bacon marshmallow. YUM!

      I found this recipe while searching for something to make for a Bacon-Off. I made these last night and they are DELICIOUS!!!! I even did the homemade graham crackers – But beware it takes a LONGGG time to make 🙂 I do wish however that you had put more pictures throughout the cooking process or helpful hints about what the consistancy/color etc of the cooking sugar-corn syrup-maple syrup should look like or the marshmallow when it was done in the mixer- otherwise flawless and delicious recipe!!!!!

        Hi Samantha, so glad you liked the recipe!! It’s definitely a labor of love to make everything from scratch. Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll add more visual descriptors next time. They are helpful when making things like marshmallows. I hope you win the Bacon-Off :)!
