Ingredients:
— 1 pound thick-cut bacon
— brown sugar
— cayenne pepper
— black pepper
— 1 box red velvet cake mix
— 3 eggs
— 2 Tablespoons bourbon
— 1/4 cup vegetable oil
— 1/2 cup water
— powdered sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the bacon on the parchment in a single layer. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool. Chop bacon into small pieces and set aside.
2. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix together the red velvet cake mix, eggs, bourbon, vegetable oil and water. Spoon batter into a greased mini donut pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
3. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of water to make a glaze for your donuts. Dip each donut in glaze and then dip in bacon pieces. Enjoy!
