Description
Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Smokies are a classic American party appetizer made with three simple ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14-ounce) package little smokies (cocktail sausages)
- 12 slices regular-cut bacon (cut into thirds)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F–400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top if you want crispier bacon.
- Cut each slice of bacon into thirds.
- Wrap one piece of bacon around each little smokie. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet or rack.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over each wrapped smokie.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and the brown sugar has melted and caramelized.
- For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- These bites are perfect for holidays, game days, and potlucks.
- They are easy to make ahead and simple to customize.
