I made this for a gathering where bacon was designated as the theme—it was a huge hit. People stood in line for it. It was fun to watch adults and kids together torching their marshmallow. The bacon was a subtle flavor that played well with the chocolate and chipotle. The interaction of people creating their own desserts brought much laughter. —Lisa Benoit, Cookeville, Tennessee
