Equipment

  • Z Grills Pellet Smoker
  • Z Grills Competition Blend Pellets

Ingredients

  • Dozen Glazed Doughnuts
  • lb  Bacon
  • bag Kraft Caramels

Instructions

  • Get your pellet smoker going to 275-300 °F.
  • Place the bacon on the grill for about 15 minutes to make it a bit easier to wrap it around the doughnuts and also help it get crispier without over cooking the doughnuts later.
  • Examine all the doughnuts to check if the hole seems to small. If so, use a knife or your fingers to make the hole a bit bigger.
  • After 15 minutes, take the bacon off the smoker and start wrapping around each doughnut. This usually will take 2-3 bacon strips per doughnut. 
  • Use toothpick to secure bacon if necessary.
  • Add a small amount of your favorite rub (or salt and pepper) to bacon.
  • Put the doughnuts on smoker at 300 degrees until bacon is crispy. Should take 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove the doughnuts from the smoker and let them cool a bit while covering with the caramel drizzle (or your favorite syrup).
