How To Make Bacon Wrapped Oreos In The Air Fryer
Step One: Cut the bacon strips in half. Wrap one strip around each Oreo, keeping the seam on the bottom. Repeat, rotating the second piece 90 degrees, creating a “plus” or “x” across the cookie with the bacon, keeping the cut ends at the bottom.
You can secure the bacon with a toothpick if needed.
Step Two: Carefully place it into the air fryer basket. Repeat until the basket of the air fryer is full, keeping bacon and cookies from touching each other and working in batches if necessary.
Step Three: Air Fry with a cook time of 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting. Remove from the air fryer with tongs and let stand for 5 minutes until serving, or serve warm or at room temperature.
Recipe Variations
While, we used a simple brown sugar, there are so many ways you can dress up bacon wrapped Oreos. Some popular options include:
- Maple Syrup Drizzle: Drizzle warm maple syrup over the bacon-wrapped Oreos for a sweet and sticky finish.
- Chocolate Sauce: Dip or drizzle melted chocolate or chocolate sauce on top for an extra indulgent treat.
- Peanut Butter: Spread a layer of peanut butter on the Oreo before wrapping it in bacon for a rich, nutty flavor.
- Cream Cheese Filling: Mix cream cheese with a bit of vanilla and spread it on the Oreo for a creamy addition.
- Spicy Sriracha Glaze: Brush with a mixture of Sriracha and honey for a sweet and spicy kick.
- Sprinkled Sea Salt: After cooking, sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavors.
- Crushed Nuts: Roll the bacon-wrapped Oreos in crushed nuts (like pecans or almonds) before cooking for added crunch.
- Coconut Flakes: Roll in toasted coconut flakes for a tropical twist.
- Cinnamon Sugar: Dust with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for a sweet, aromatic finish.
- Bourbon Glaze: Brush with a bourbon-infused glaze before cooking for a rich, smoky flavor.
Storing and Reheating Instructions
After cooking, it’s essential to allow the bacon-wrapped Oreos to cool completely. Once they have cooled, place the bacon-wrapped Oreos in an airtight container. To keep them from sticking together, you can layer parchment paper between each layer of Oreos. Finally, store the container in the refrigerator, where the bacon-wrapped Oreos can last for up to 3-4 days. Another option is to place them in the freezer, for about 1-2 months.
To reheat bacon-wrapped Oreos, you can easily place them in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are heated through. Alternatively, if you prefer using the oven, arrange them on a baking sheet and heat them at the same temperature for 5-7 minutes. For the best results and to ensure the bacon remains crispy, it’s recommended to reheat the Oreos just before serving. If you’ve stored the bacon-wrapped Oreos in the freezer, you can still reheat them directly from frozen; just be aware that you might need to extend the reheating time by a couple of minutes.
Faqs
Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon? Yes, you can use turkey bacon, but it might not be as crispy as pork bacon. Adjust cooking times accordingly, as turkey bacon may cook faster.
Can I use flavored bacon for this recipe? Absolutely! Maple-flavored or peppered bacon can add a layer of flavor to your treat.
Can I use double-stuffed Oreos? Yes, double-stuffed or any other variety of Oreo cookies can be used. Just ensure they’re wrapped well in the bacon.
How can I prevent the bacon from unraveling while cooking? Secure the bacon with a toothpick before cooking. Remember to remove the toothpick before serving.
Are bacon-wrapped Oreos very greasy? The air fryer does a great job of rendering the bacon fat, making the end product less greasy than you might expect. Ensure your air fryer basket is clean for proper air circulation and fat drainage.
