Ingredients
Ingredients
- 16 Oreo cookies
- 8 strips thick-cut bacon
- 2 tbsp pork BBQ rub
Instructions
- Preheat Smoker: Pre-heat your smoker to 250°F (121°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal low and slow temperature for smoking bacon-wrapped Oreos.
- Prepare Bacon: Slice the thick-cut bacon strips in half lengthwise to create thinner half-strips that will be easier to wrap tightly around each Oreo cookie.
- Wrap Oreos: Wrap each Oreo cookie with a half-strip of bacon, making sure to cover it completely and place them seam-side down to hold the bacon in place while cooking.
- Season: Sprinkle a small amount of pork BBQ rub on top of each bacon-wrapped Oreo for added smoky and savory flavor.
- Smoke Cookies: Place the bacon-wrapped Oreos directly on the smoker grates, seam-side down, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper smoke circulation.
- Spritz: After about 30 minutes of smoking, use a spray bottle to spritz the Oreos with a little apple juice, adding moisture and a touch of sweetness to complement the bacon.
- Finish Smoking: Continue smoking for another 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisped to your desired level, usually around a total of 1 hour.
- Serve: Carefully remove the smoked bacon-wrapped Oreos from the smoker and let cool briefly before enjoying this indulgent, smoky treat.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for best results since it crisps up nicely while providing enough coverage for the Oreo.
- If you don’t have a smoker, you can use a grill set up for indirect heat with wood chips or an oven at low temperature, but the smoky flavor will be less pronounced.
- Spritzing with apple juice adds moisture and a subtle fruity touch; you can substitute with apple cider vinegar diluted with water if preferred.
- Be careful not to over-smoke, as the sweetness of the Oreo can overpower if exposed to smoke too long.
- Allow to cool slightly before eating since the filling can get hot during smoking.
