Ingredients

• 1 pound Smoky cocktail sausages
• 1 pound Bacon
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Optional cayenne pepper (for extra spice)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to help with excess grease drainage.

Step 2

Cut each slice of bacon into thirds, ensuring each piece is small enough to wrap around one cocktail sausage securely.

Step 3

Wrap each smoky cocktail sausage with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick, placing the secured sausages seam-side down on the wire rack.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and optional cayenne pepper, if desired, for a sweet and spicy kick.

Step 5

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture generously over the wrapped smokies, ensuring each piece is coated for caramelization.

Step 6

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has melted into a glaze.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the smokies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving dish.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy this delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors!
