Bacon Wrapped Brown Sugar Little Smokies – Pork wrapped in even more Porky fat goodness. Mmmmm My heart just stopped pounding for a bit.
The first time I ever had these, somebody had brought them for Treat Day. At my old job, we had that every Thursday at 930am. One person would take turns bringing snacks for the week and usually our treat day team, had the most elaborate gourmet snack food. Sure, there were some teams that brought sugary baked treats like donuts and cookies all the time, but our team went all out. And boy, did people on that team like BACON. I swear, everything that was brought to Treat Day had bacon. That is probably where I got addicted to the food too.
I’m bringing these for Treat Day today at my new job. This only happens once a year around Christmas. I cooked them first in the oven until the bacon was brown and the brown sugar was melted. The brown sugar caramelizes in the oven. You have smoky, sweet, and savory going on at all at once. Keep them warm in the crock pot. They will be gone in no time!
