If your tastes run more to the savory side, you will potentially have a heart attack over this bacon fried donut (for more reasons than one). Created by Amy from the food blog Oh, Bite It!, the bacon-wrapped glazed donuts are described as "sticky, smoky, sweet, delicious disks of heaven."
To recreate these treats at home, you will need glazed donuts, thin-cut maple bacon (about four slices for every donut), oil for frying and toothpicks to hold everything together. The fried donuts are also extremely easy to make, since you basically just wrap them in meat and then fry the whole thing.
While it is hardly healthy, it will certainly be delicious and makes for a tasty summer snack.
