Wanted smoked cream cheese but also wanted it to be different. So I added some candied bacon to change it up a bit.
I used some fire honey from Chef Jason Morse 5280 culinary line up and some brown sugar , slathered the bacon with the honey and sprinkled some brown sugar and placed it on a wire rack in my Char-Griller Gravity 980. Took around 30 minutes at 350
Seasoned the cream cheese with tiki tiki rub also by Chef Jason Morse , smoked at 250 for 1.5 hours. When it was done I added some fire honey to the cream cheese and chopped the bacon to serve along with the cream cheese .
So good and was a perfect game day food while watching the Georgia Bulldogs whoop up on the Michigan Wolverines. :)
