🥘 Ingredients
Main
  • 1 pkg cocktail smokies (14 oz, Lil Smokies)
  • 1 pkg bacon (regular cut, not thick)
Coating
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Assembly
  • 24 toothpicks (soaked in water 10 min)
📝 Instructions
  1. Soak toothpicks in water at least 10 minutes to prevent burning. Shared 💡 Dry toothpicks will char and potentially catch fire.
  2. Cut bacon strips into thirds. Wrap each smokie with bacon, secure with toothpick. Shared 💡 Wrap snugly but not so tight the bacon tears.
  3. Mix brown sugar with cayenne and black pepper. Roll wrapped smokies in sugar. Shared 💡 Press sugar firmly — it is the glaze.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 375°F. Line basket with parchment. Shared 💡 Parchment catches caramelized sugar drips.
  5. Place smokies single layer, toothpick side up. Air Fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes. Top Oven 💡 Space between each for bacon to crisp on all sides.
  6. Bacon crispy, sugar caramelized. Rest 3 minutes before serving. Shared 💡 The sugar napalm is HOT — warn your guests.
💡 Ninja Tips

Soak toothpicks or they burn. Regular bacon better than thick-cut. Parchment saves cleanup from caramelized sugar. Blazing hot — let rest.
