Why Make Bacon Wrapped Oreos?

Because they’re ridiculously fun and surprisingly delicious. The cookie softens just enough, the bacon crisps up, and the seasoning ties it all together. They’re perfect for cookouts, tailgates, or anytime you want to shock your guests with something new.

• Big Reactions – These always get a “wait, what?!” when people see them.
• Simple to Make – A handful of ingredients and a smoker do all the work.
• Sweet + Savory Combo – Bacon and Oreos sound crazy, but together they’re magic.

Ingredients

Meat

• 1 package of bacon (cut strips in half)

Rubs & Seasonings

• Meat Church Honey Hog Rub (about ½ tsp per Oreo)

Cookies

• 1 package of Oreo cookies

Best Wood Pellets for Dessert Smoking

• Signature Blend – Maple, cherry, and hickory balanced for sweet-smoky flavor.
• Applewood – Light, fruity smoke that pairs great with sweets.
• Cherry – Sweet smoke with a nice color finish on the bacon.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Smoker (10 minutes)

• Fire up your Traeger Timberline 1300 (or whatever pellet smoker you’ve got).
• Set it to 250°F and let it heat up while you prep the Oreos.

Step 2: Wrap the Oreos (10 minutes)

• Slice your bacon strips in half.
• Wrap each Oreo with half a strip of bacon, making sure the seam ends up on the bottom.
• If the bacon’s wider than the cookie, shift it so it runs edge to edge without covering the sides.

Step 3: Season (15 minutes)

• Sprinkle the bacon-wrapped Oreos with Meat Church Honey Hog Rub.
• Let them sit for about 15 minutes so the rub sticks.

Step 4: Smoke (45 minutes)

• Place the Oreos on a wire rack or directly on the smoker grates.
• Smoke at 250°F for about 45 minutes, or until the bacon looks perfectly crisp.

Step 5: Rest & Serve (10–15 minutes)

• Pull them off the smoker and let them rest for 10–15 minutes.
• Serve warm and get ready for some fun reactions.

Key Steps Recap

• Heat smoker to 250°F.
• Wrap Oreos with half-strips of bacon.
• Season and let rest.
• Smoke 45 minutes until bacon is crisp.
• Rest 10–15 minutes, then serve.

Pro Tips

1. Thin-Cut Bacon Works Best – It crisps nicely without smothering the Oreo.
2. Experiment with Rubs – Sweet rubs with cinnamon or brown sugar can make these even more dessert-like.
3. Serve with a Dip – Chocolate syrup, caramel, or even a dusting of powdered sugar will take these over the top.

FAQs

Q: Do the Oreos get soggy?
Not really—the cookie softens just a touch but still holds its shape.

Q: Can I use flavored Oreos?
Absolutely. Golden Oreos, Peanut Butter Oreos, even seasonal flavors all work great.

Q: What kind of bacon should I use?
Regular thin-cut is best. Thick-cut takes too long to crisp and can overpower the cookie.

Q: Can I prep these ahead?
Yes. Wrap and season them ahead of time, then smoke right before serving.

Q: Do I need a rack?
A rack makes them easier to move in and out of the smoker, but you can go straight on the grates.

Final Thoughts

Bacon Wrapped Oreos are the ultimate backyard curveball—easy to make, smoky-sweet, and guaranteed to start a conversation. Whether you’re hosting a party, tailgating, or just looking for a fun dessert, these little bites hit the mark every time.
