Description

If you’re looking for the ultimate party appetizer or something savory and sweet to serve at your next gathering, Bacon-Wrapped Smokies with Brown Sugar and Butter are your golden ticket. These irresistible bites blend the smoky, salty goodness of bacon with the rich sweetness of brown sugar and butter, creating a mouthwatering contrast that’s hard to beat.

Ingredients

1 package of little smokies (about 14 oz)

1 lb bacon, cut into thirds

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper or cracked black pepper for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Wrap each little smoky with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place them seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until combined.
  4. Spoon or brush the brown sugar butter mixture over the bacon-wrapped smokies generously.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized.
  6. Optional: Broil for an extra 1–2 minutes if you want more crispiness.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. These are best warm!
