Equipment
- Rimmed Baking Sheet
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- 1 package (14 oz) cocktail sausages (like Little Smokies)
- 1 package (12 oz) thin or regular-cut bacon
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut each bacon strip into three equal shorter pieces.
- Wrap one piece of bacon around each cocktail sausage. Secure with a toothpick and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over all sausages, patting gently to adhere. Bake for 40-45 mins until bacon is crisp and sugar is caramelized.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes (sugar is very hot). Transfer to a platter and serve warm with toothpicks.
Notes
Pro Tips: For success, use thin or regular-cut bacon, not thick-cut, to ensure it crisps properly. Always place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the baking sheet to prevent unraveling. For extra crispy bacon, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely. For another incredibly simple crowd-pleaser, try our 3-Ingredient Italian Chicken.
