Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large rimmed baking tray with foil, lightly coating it with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, and black pepper. Set aside.
Wrap a piece of bacon around each little smokie, securing with a toothpick, and place them on the prepared tray.
Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the wrapped smokies.
Bake for 15 minutes, flip each smokie, add the remaining brown sugar mixture, and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the spice levels if you prefer a milder flavor.
These can be prepared in advance; just bake them right before serving for freshness.
For a twist, try adding a bit of barbecue sauce for extra flavor.
