What is Bacon-Wrapped Smokies Brown Sugar All About?

This dish is mere finger food from little cocktail sausages (smokies) wrapped in bacon and coated with brown sugar, then baked until golden and caramelized. The saltiness comes from the bacon, that juicy bite from the smokies, and that beautiful, melting brown sugar concoction turns into a sticky glaze that makes every single bite utterly irresistible. This is the ultimate combination of smoky, sweet, and savory—all wrapped into one heavenly little morsel.

Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make these tasty bites:

Main Ingredients:
- 1 (14 oz) package cocktail smokies (about 40 pieces)
- 1 lb bacon (thin-cut works best)
Coating:
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted, optional for extra glaze)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and line a baking tray with foil. Add a wire rack if you have one.
Chop the bacon into thirds. Each should be just about long enough to wrap around one smokie.
Take each smokie and then wrap it in a piece of bacon. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
Generously sprinkle with brown sugar. Roll in sugar for a thicker coating on each piece if you want.
Drizzle melted butter on top(optional, but gives richness).
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the sugar caramelizes.
Serve warm and watch them disappear fast!

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 8 minutes to crisp them back up.
