Father’s day is in a couple of days and if you are looking for a special recipe to make the dads in your life, this is a great one. A little breakfast in bed perhaps???
This Coffee & Brown Sugar Bacon skewer is sweet with a hint of that black coffee flavor. Not only are these delicious, but we give you that caffeine boost you need in the morning, too.
I chose to do this recipe in skewer form. I have thrown many a brunch shower in my day and I love to do bacon skewers. They are each to pick up and walk around with, as well as not being quite as messy.

STEP 3: Start skewering by taking 1 small piece of bacon, fold it in half and slide onto skewer. Take the next small piece, fold it in half and slide it on the skewer in the opposite direction. Do as many of these layers as you like. I did 5 pieces on each skewer.
