About

These crowd-pleasing donuts feature a maple glaze that is adorned with crisp pieces of bacon. The bacon is dipped into maple syrup before it’s baked, raising the bar on the favorite sweet-and-salty combination to new heights. The sweet bacon also makes a good salad crumble or a tasty variation on the BLT sandwich.
