My 3-year-old actually licked his bowl clean! I was hoping to have leftovers for lunches but they wiped it all out!

This recipe combines the sweet and savory flavors of glazed donuts, crispy bacon, melty cheddar cheese, and a touch of spicy-sweet maple glaze for a decadent and unexpected treat.

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain excess grease on paper towels.
2. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using) for a spicy-sweet glaze.
3. Toast the Donuts: In the same skillet, toast the donut halves, cut-side down, until golden brown.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: Flip the donuts and layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each bottom half. Top with crumbled bacon.
5. Drizzle with Glaze: Generously drizzle the maple glaze over the bacon.
6. Cook and Serve: Top with the remaining donut halves, pressing gently to seal. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, until cheese melts. Enjoy warm!
