   Place bacon in a shallow dish; add bourbon. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. Remove bacon and pat dry; discard bourbon.

   Preheat oven to 375°. Separate dough into 8 rolls, reserving icing packet. Unroll spiral rolls into long strips; pat dough to form 6x1-in. strips.

Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake until golden brown, 9-11 minutes.
