What does bacon plus Oreos taste like?
The oreo cookies have their sweet taste which goes well with the salty taste from the BBQ rub on the bacon strips. It’s like how you would add some sweet chili sauce to your curry to balance the salt if you added a little bit too much salt. In this case, the salty taste does not overpower the sweet but rather complement it to the right level. Overall they taste great and you can easily get hooked on them
Another recipe that is worth trying is this air fryer cucumber chips. I was impressed with how this recipe turned out. It was way better than I expected it to be.
