A delightful savory and sweet treat made with Little Smokies wrapped in crispy bacon and caramelized brown sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 package Little Smokies

- 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

- Sprinkle any leftover brown sugar on top, and optionally, add a dash of black pepper.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar is caramelized.
- For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes while watching closely.
- Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy warm.
Notes
Serve warm with toothpicks and dipping sauces like barbecue or ranch on the side. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
