Storage and Reheating Instructions:
Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Oreos can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat them, you can place them in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes or until they are heated through. If you prefer to reheat them in the oven, you can place them on a baking sheet and heat them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes. To prevent the bacon from becoming soggy, it’s best to reheat the Oreos just before serving.
You can also store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat them, place them in the air fryer or oven straight from the freezer, you might need to add a couple of minutes to the reheating time.
It’s worth mentioning that, as with any food item, the quality of the final product may not be as good as when they were first cooked.
FAQS
What cut of bacon should I use for this recipe?
I would definitely use regular cut. This cut will shrink up too much and thick cut will have a hard time cooking all the way through without overcooking the oreo.
Do I have to cut the bacon strips in half?
Yes, I recommend that you do. I tried several with an entire strip of bacon but because it has to overlap so much to be fully wrapped around the cookie, the inside bacon comes out undercooked and soggy.
Do I need to flip the oreos half way through air frying?
I depends on your air fryer. I used the Cosori Dual Balze for this recipe so I did not need to flip them for the bacon to fully cook but if you typically need to flip food or shake your basket, you might want to do so.
