Sugared Smokies

Sugared Smokies are a snack made from small sausage links that are coated in a sweet glaze or sugar coating. They are prepared by wrapping mini sausages with bacon, then coating with a sugary mixture, then baking.  They can be served as appetizers, party snacks or holiday treats.

Basic preparation steps

1. Wrap small sausages with strips of bacon.
2. Secure with wooden picks if needed.
3. Mix brown sugar with melted butter.
4. Dip or sprinkle the bacon-wrapped smokies with the sugar-butter mixture.
5. Bake until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.

Another appetizer we love is Deep Fried Mushrooms.
