Any one can make deep fried Oreos with pancake mix of something similar, but this food blogger decided to do things very, very differently. Known for crazy food hybrids (like her savory chocolate sandwiches) and deep fried goods (like fried pizza tacos), Amy of Oh, Bite It! created the recipe for Bacon Fried Oreos.
Using only two ingredients, the extremely unhealthy snack is made by wrapping thin sliced bacon around Oreo cookies, securing with toothpicks and frying them in canola oil. Described as warm, tender and "borderline-melty," the meat-covered chocolate sandwich cookies is an unusual take on mixing sweet and savory chocolate flavors, as well as the unconventional bacon and chocolate combination. Best enjoyed warm, the bites are made using the original Oreo flavor.
