HOW TO CREATE A BACON BAR:
1. Choose your bacon
First things first, in order to create a DIY bacon bar, you’ll need some bacon! This can be anything from original bacon, to thick cut, applewood, or peppered. The more variety you have on your bacon bar, the better!
2. Print labels
Smithfield is the mastermind behind this bacon bar and have made it super easy for you to recreate. You can print ready made bacon bar labels here! All you need is some thick card stock for printing, scissors for cutting, and twine or a small clothespin for attaching your label to a bacon creation.
3. Add sides
Sides such as bread, muffins, and biscuits are all great options to add. The more carbs the better! These additions are great for dipping. Speaking of dipping, why not add some bacon infused sauce!?
4. Add dipping sauce
You can’t go wrong with a variety of sweet, salty, and savory dipping sauces! This cherry bacon jam would be perfect for dipping with bread and biscuits!
5. Add bacon recipes
When you’re creating a bacon bar for holiday entertaining, the more bacon the merrier! Bacon desserts like sea salt caramel bacon, bourbon brown sugar bacon, and bacon twists are sure to wow guests! All of the recipes for these delicious bacon desserts can be found here!

My favorite Bacon bar recipe is my Barbecue chicken pieces and with mustard and barbecue sauce on top with a piece of cooked bacon and cheese on top of the chicken. Cut the pieces of chicken in small pieces and add the sauce and bacon! This is really yummy!
