Crispy Bacon Cinnamon Roll Twists are a delicious “twist” on your favorite morning treats. Add Cream Cheese Frosting to elevate them to a whole new level.
Have you heard of a “Bacon Bar”? It’s pretty much like a baked potato bar layout but with much bacon. Bacon salt, bacon syrup, caramel, thick bacon, Applewood Bacon, Home-style Bacon, and Crispy Bacon Cinnamon Roll Twists. You often serve bacon with a side of whatever you want: eggs, muffins, cinnamon rolls, and/or jam.
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
This “party” is perfect for a holiday get-together, game day feast, or casual Sunday brunch. Coming from a family of bacon lovers (all of us could eat a pound of bacon in one sitting), hosting a “Bacon Bar” is perfect and easy.
My favorite is the Smithfield Hometown Original Bacon because it is versatile. Classically cut, you can use it for almost anything and in any way.
Even with the rush of the Christmas season being over, I have the gumption to host get-togethers. I have found the idea of this “Bacon Bar” to be an easy one.
Ingredients
- bacon
- cinnamon
- brown sugar
- butter
- pastry sheets
- flour
You can also serve these with a cream cheese frosting as a dipping sauce; I highly recommend it! If you make that, here is a list of everything you will need.
- cream cheese
- powdered sugar
- butter
- milk
- vanilla extract
How to make Bacon Twists
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Dust your countertop with flour and lay down the puff pastry. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar. Spread softened butter over the pastry, then sprinkle a generous amount of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the butter. Any remaining brown sugar filling you have, you can save to mix into the frosting later.
Layer the remaining puff pastry sheet over the cinnamon and butter, pressing the sheets together. Use a rolling pin to seal and spread them out, then cut the pastry in half lengthwise.
Then, cut into 24 half-inch slices – this will make 48 slices.
Stretch a slice of puff pastry to match the length of a bacon strip. Place the bacon on top, then twist them together. Arrange 12 twists per baking sheet.
Bake for 35-45 minutes. About halfway through, I grab a paper towel to dab off some of the extra grease from the twists.
Make a smooth frosting by mixing cream cheese and melted butter, then beat in powdered sugar. Add milk gradually until it reaches your preferred consistency, and serve in a bowl for dipping.

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Dust your countertop with 1 tablespoon of flour.
- Lay down the puff pastry sheet on top of the floured countertop.
- Spread softened butter on top of the puff pastry sheet on the counter.
- In a small mixing bowl stir to combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top of the buttered pastry. Use as much or as little of the cinnamon mixture. I use about 1/2 of it and then use the rest later to mix into my frosting.
- Top the cinnamon and butter with the leftover puff pastry sheet, like pictured. Press down the puff pastry so the two sheets start to stick together.
- Then gently roll over the puff pastry sheets with a rolling pin, pressing them together and spreading it out.
- Cut the puff pastry in half the long way, like pictured.
- Then cut into 24 half-inch slices – making a total of 48 slices total.
- Grab one slice and spread out to the length of one piece of bacon. Top with one slice of bacon.
- Top the bacon with one slice of puff pastry, making sure to stretch to the length of the bacon.
- Then twist the bacon and 2 slices of puff pastry together, like pictured.
- Set on baking sheet, 12 per pan.
- Bake 35-45 minutes. *Halfway through baking, I use a paper towel and damp off the twists, to remove some of the extra grease.
- Remove from oven once the puff pastry is a nice golden brown and bacon is cooked all the way through.
- Let it rest on the pan for 5 minutes, then gently remove and serve.
Frosting:
- To make the frosting, beat together cream cheese and melted butter until smooth and there are no cream cheese chunks.
- Add in powdered sugar and mix it together by beating on medium-high.
- Add in milk one teaspoon at a time, until you get your desired consistency.
- Pour into a bowl for people to dip their twists in.
This is creative!
