Ingredients:
27 small cocktail franks
9 slices bacon
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
1 pinch cayenne pepper ( to taste) (optional)
Directions:
Set oven to 350 F.
Grease a baking sheet.
Cut each bacon slice into thirds.
Wrap each slice around each of the small smokies.
Place in foil-lined baking pan.
Bake for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile in a small bowl mix together the ketchup with brown sugar to form a thick mixture.
Remove the cocktail wieners from oven and brush about 1 teaspoon of the ketchup/brown sugar mixture over the wiener.
Place back in the oven and bake until the bacon is lightly crisp (do not overcook or the bacon will be too hard!).
