Baked Little Smokies With Bacon
When baked, the brown sugar melts and caramelizes on the bacon, creating a sticky, slightly crispy glaze that enhances the flavor and makes them a mouthwatering appetizer.
These little smokie bites are the perfect combination of sweet, smoky, and savory flavors with a crispy yet tender texture.
Their small stackable bite-sized shape makes them easy to eat, making them an ideal choice for football parties or gatherings.
