Between work meetings, dropping your kids off, and somehow having a social life, we know how hectic your schedule can get. Sometimes, you need a snack you can easily head out the door with, send in a lunchbox to school, or have as an office pick-me-up.
Tired of the same old granola bars and other pre-packaged goods? At Wellshire, we believe snack time doesn’t have to be boring or bland—in fact, thanks to our range of all-natural meats, it can be both delicious and nutritious.
In this guide, we’re here to show you that bacon isn’t just for breakfast. Our vegetarian-fed uncured bacon is a versatile ingredient for tasty snacks to enjoy on the go. All made with Wellshire bacon, here are some recipes to add to your snack rotation.

Bacon S’mores
S’mores are the quintessential campfire snack—but have you ever had them with bacon? Simply cook your bacon (we love the Maple Bourbon flavor) at home and pack it up with the rest of your camping supplies.

Once you’re at the campfire, combine the bacon with your marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers, and you’ve got bacon s’mores.
