# Ingredients You’ll Need:
01 -
260 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 -
120 g mini marshmallows
03 -
14 g unsalted butter
04 -
15 ml whiskey
05 -
25 wrapped caramels, unwrapped
06 -
2 strips crisp-cooked bacon, crumbled
# How to Make It:
01 -
Line an 20x20 cm pan with parchment paper, ensuring flaps hang over the edges for easy removal. Set aside.
02 -
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Take care not to scorch the chocolate.
03 -
Pour half of the melted chocolate into the prepared pan. Smooth evenly with a silicone or offset spatula. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
04 -
Place mini marshmallows and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 45 seconds, stir, then heat for another 45 seconds until melted. Stir in whiskey until mixture becomes smooth and elastic.
05 -
Quickly pour the marshmallow mixture over the set chocolate layer and spread as evenly as possible using a silicone spatula. Freeze for an additional 15 minutes.
06 -
Place unwrapped caramels in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 45 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals until completely melted and smooth.
07 -
Immediately pour the melted caramel over the chilled marshmallow layer and spread evenly. Work swiftly as caramel begins to set quickly. Return pan to the freezer for 15 minutes.
08 -
Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the set caramel layer and smooth evenly. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crumbled bacon on top.
09 -
Freeze for an additional 15–30 minutes or until completely firm. Remove bark by lifting the parchment flaps, carefully peel off the paper, and slice into portions with a sharp knife.

Store in the refrigerator, as the bark softens and the interior becomes gooey at room temperature.

01 -
Use a silicone spatula for easy spreading of sticky layers.
