Bacon-Wrapped Little Smokies

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Makes 10 servings (about 30 pieces)

Ingredients

  • 1 14-ounce package cocktail smokies
  • 1 pound bacon cut into thirds
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375°F and set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Wrap each cocktail smokie in a third-piece of bacon, securing with a toothpick through the center.
  • Press the top of each wrapped smokie into the brown sugar, coating lightly.
  • Arrange the smokies on the wire rack with a little space between each.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bacon is crisp at the edges and the sugar has turned into a sticky glaze.
  • Check doneness by lifting one with tongs: the bacon should hold its shape and not flex.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes on the rack (the glaze sets as it cools) before piling onto a platter.

Good to Know

Buy bacon pre-cut into thirds if your store carries it, it saves the fiddliest five minutes of this whole recipe.
