Here’s a tasty and easy recipe for Little Smokies Wrapped in Bacon – perfect for parties, game days, or anytime snacks!

Little Smokies Wrapped in Bacon

Ingredients:

• 1 package (14 oz) Little Smokies (cocktail sausages)

• 1 lb bacon (cut each slice into thirds)

• ¾ cup brown sugar (light or dark)

• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

• Toothpicks

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if you have one (this helps crisp the bacon).

2. Wrap Smokies:
   Wrap each little smokie with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.

3. Sugar Coating:
   In a bowl, mix brown sugar and cayenne pepper (if using). Roll each bacon-wrapped smokie in the mixture until well coated.

4. Arrange on Pan:
   Place them on the wire rack or directly on the foil-lined pan (seam-side down).

5. Bake:
   Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and sugar is caramelized. For extra crispiness, broil the last 2–3 minutes while watching closely.

6. Serve Warm:
   Let them cool slightly before serving. Sticky, sweet, and savory perfection!
