Elevate your s'mores game with Arteflame-grilled Bacon Weave S'mores, featuring Pork Panko. A delicious twist on a campfire classic, blending savory bacon with sweet chocolate and marshmallows.
Ingredients:
- 12 strips of bacon
- 4 tsp Pork Panko
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 6 large marshmallows
- 2 Hershey's chocolate bars
Instructions
Preheat Arteflame Grill: Light your Arteflame grill, ensuring the plancha cooktop is evenly coated with oil for non-stick cooking.
Prepare Bacon Weaves: Lay out 6 strips of bacon for each weave, interlacing them to create two bacon bases.
Season Bacon Weaves: Combine Pork Panko, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over each bacon weave.
Grill Bacon Weaves: Place the bacon weaves Panko side down on the hot grill. This method crisps the Panko, adding a unique texture to the base.
Cook to Firmness: Once the bottom side of the bacon weave is crispy and firm, carefully flip it over to cook the other side.
Roast Marshmallows: Place marshmallows near the flame, rotating gently to soften without burning.
Add Chocolate: Once marshmallows are soft, place your desired amount of chocolate on top of the bacon weave, allowing the heat to slightly melt the chocolate.
Cool and Serve: Allow the Bacon Weave S'mores to cool slightly before serving. No additional topping needed, as the bacon weave serves as a savory, crispy base.
Tips
- Use thick-cut bacon for a sturdier weave.
- Adjust the seasoning mix to taste, adding more cinnamon for sweetness or cloves for warmth.
- If you prefer extra crispy bacon, cook a little longer before assembling the s’mores.
- Experiment with different chocolate types, such as dark chocolate or flavored varieties.
Variations
- Try using flavored bacon, such as maple or peppered, for additional complexity.
- Swap out Hershey’s chocolate for peanut butter cups for a nutty twist.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle cayenne pepper on the bacon weave before grilling.
Best pairings
- A hot cup of spiced chai tea or strong black coffee complements the smoky and sweet flavors.
- A full-bodied red wine, like Zinfandel, pairs well with the richness of bacon and chocolate.
- Vanilla bean ice cream makes a delightful contrast with the warm, crispy s’mores.
