If you’ve ever been to a state fair or carnival, you may have had a deep-fried oreo before. Essentially, it’s an Oreo that’s been covered in a sweet batter and then dunked in some bubbling oil for a few seconds. The result is a creamy, sweet, and crunchy treat that everybody loves. Although this new treat is a bit different from that old-time classic, many people have opted to deep fry them as well.
The deep frying process is really simple.
For people trying the deep-frying method, all it takes is a toothpick and some oil! First, wrap the Oreo in the bacon. Then, stick a toothpick through the bacon and the Oreo to hold everything together. After that, drop it in the oil until the bacon is cooked!
Although deep frying is easy, THIS method is probably the best.

The recipe to smoke is really simple.

We all know that classic Oreos are good, but what about other types? There are chocolate and vanilla birthday cake ones, S’mores ones, and even peppermint ones during Christmas! Although some are probably less suited to being bacon-wrapped than others (looking at you peppermint), there really isn’t a limit here.
These treats make for the perfect party deserts or snacks.
