The epitome of party food these kickin’ Bacon Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies are finger food done right. Tiny smoked sausages are wrapped with maple flavored bacon then tossed in a brown sugar coating that’s spiced with a touch of ground chipotle pepper. Bake them in the oven until the bacon is crispy then serve them with sweet barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.

I’m not certain who thought to wrap cocktail sausages in bacon but, my boys gobble them up by the hand full. It doesn’t matter the season or current sport obsession delicious party and game day food simply has to be included on the menu as well as  something wrapped in bacon. This recipe is one of my favorite ways to prepare little smokies and we particularly enjoy them wrapped in maple flavored bacon. It compliments the spice of the ground chipotle pepper beautifully.

North Carolina Loves Barbecue

North Carolina is well know for it’s love of pork and barbecue and it seems only fitting that I serve these with barbecue sauce on the side for dipping. Serve them as a game or race day appetizer or part of your fun weekend munchies and you’ll be the most popular house on the block. On second thought, go ahead and double the recipe. You’ll be so happy that you did. Checkout this recipe for Bourbon BBQ Little Smokies from Bread, Booze and Bacon, too.

    If I made these and cooked them would it be possible to freeze them and just reheat later

      I’m sure you could, yes. It may be just as easy, to assemble and toss them in the bag with the brown sugar mixture, then set into the fridge overnight. Shake the bag then, bake just before serving.

    Can you favor the smokies with any other spice. Just to have a variation?

    Have you tried this with turkey bacon? Since we do not eat pork, I was wondering how it would be to use turkey bacon and if there would be any difference in the cooking time.
