Ingredients
- Canned cinnamon rolls: Make this foolproof with a soft sweet swirl. Go for the Pillsbury brand for the best rise and flavor
- Bacon: Brings a smoky salty crunch. Thick-cut works best and stay away from flavored varieties
- Brown sugar: Caramelizes the bacon and adds a deeply rich sweetness. Look for fresh soft brown sugar with no clumps
- Maple syrup: Turns the glaze silky and sweet while also coating the bacon in sticky goodness. Use real maple syrup if you can find it
