I know long name, but trying to be creative a 1:30AM is not working out too well – but at least the bark did.
Full disclosure: This one won’t ship as well as the other bark recipes, but trust me when I say it will be well received! It’s hard to go wrong with whiskey, caramel, marshmallow and bacon! Isn’t bacon like the great enhancer? Yes, I think so.

My four letter happy word I want to share with you today is: bark. Starting from the bottom you’ll find a dark chocolate layer kicked up with a bit of cherry extract and then for a more teeth grabbing bit of black forest authenticity, I added Kirsch soaked dried cherries. Providing a textural interruption between the black and pink chocolate layers are chocolate wafers. Pink? Yes, pink. That’s white chocolate lightly dyed for some whimsy and decorated for a final touch.
So this is going to be short.
Mouthwatering? I think so. It’s hard to resist a chocolate and caramel pairing especially one in which the caramel has a deep almost burnt caramel flavor. Along with the flavor the soft and creamy caramel lends a hand towards giving a textural break to the soft snap of the rich chocolate and the crisp crunch of the deeply toasted pecans.
Yes, I’m kinda bark crazy right now, aren’t I? If you are a regular reader, than you know when I get caught on a run of something you will probably see a few variations. I can’t help it. My mind starts to rush ideas at me with the speed of an Indie car racer pedaled down on a straightaway.
