Wow, who would have thought of a smoked, bacon wrapped twinkie infused with jack daniels? photo is courtesy of meattruck.com
Jack Daniels is one of the easiest and tastiest ways to “help” get the grill going. If it’s cold out – a medicinal shot will get you through the cook. If it’s hot out, then mixing it up with some cola will hit the spot. If it’s perfect weather out, then mixed with some 7-up and a splash of Malibu Rum helps make a great day perfect. But using Jack as an ingredient? Best way I’ve used it is Smoked Jack Daniels Twinkies.
That’s right – Smoked Jack Daniels Twinkies – wrapped in bacon!
Wrap a full piece of Farmer John Thick Cut Maple Bacon around a Twinkie, Inject about 1oz of Jack Daniels into the center while slowly pulling the needle out – so you get even distribution of the Jack, and then smoke on an indirect fire at 250 – 300 F until the bacon is done. The Jack soaks into the cake adding the perfect balance of flavor to the filling and maple bacon, while the bacon gets crisp, so does the exterior of the twinkie.
To keep the kids quiet, just throw a few twinkies on – no bacon – and they’ll be done in about 10 minutes and while they’re busy eating theirs, the adult version will be finishing up and ready to enjoy!
Congrats to the winners! I knew I wasn’t even in the running once I saw entries like the bacon wrapped Twinkies.
Thanks for the Jack! Glad you liked the recipe!
