Colorful Bacon Marshmallows

These Homemade Marshmallows Contain Layers of Meat and Food Coloring

— May 13, 2015 — Lifestyle
These homemade marshmallows have bacon incorporated into them, because that's what we're allowing in kitchens now. You wouldn't know it by looking at the little cubes, but the gelatinous treats are surprisingly savory and contain lots of crispy bacon. Food coloring gives the layers in the marshmallows a little more personality, plus the tops are scorched.

The combination of candy with the bacon truly makes this recipe stand out. There is even what That's Nerdalicious calls "a dash of liquid smoke for good measure." The directions to make your own homemade marshmallows in 14 steps are available on Instructables.

These squishy treats would also make an insanely tasty (not to mention pretty) s'more if melted over a campfire.
