As for baking, cook the bars on a wire rack to allow for even browning and crispness on all sides. Finally, be sure not to overcook as this can lead to dry, tough bars. Follow these pro tips for guaranteed delicious bacon bourbon bars every time.

They can also be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag. Bacon bars will stay fresh in the fridge for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy a bacon bar, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight or reheat it in the microwave for a quick and delicious meal anytime. With proper storage, you can always have tasty bacon bars on hand for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
