Bacon Wrapped Weenies

Bacon Wrapped Weenies
I originally wanted to title this "How to make a man fall in love with you" but figured that men are not the only ones who are defenseless to the siren calls of the bacon wrapped weenie.  Thus, the very simple, matter of fact, "Bacon Wrapped Weenies" became the official name.

This very simple and very savory treat has been a great success for pretty much every event I have ever brought it to, with the exception to a party that I went to that was hosted by vegetarian friend.  So with that said... bake away and ENJOY!

Step 1Ingredients

Ingredients
It is almost impossible to mess this one up.  You can get any brand and in any quantity, any flavoring....the variations are endless. 

For this recipe, I just got
-a 16 oz package of "Lil Smokies"
-16 oz of Bacon.  Thick cut, peppered, smokey, its really up to you and your preference in flavor palette. (Make sure the bacon is cold as it becomes easier to work with)
-a 1lb box of dark brown sugar (You can use light brown, however I find that the intensity of the sweetness is lacking.  The molasses-y taste is much more vibrant in the dark brown, but again, its totally up to you)
-a box of round toothpicks (Avoid toothpicks with color as the dye will bleed into the food when your baking, and flat ones, as they don't seem as strong to pierce through all that meaty goodness)
-shallow baking dish, glass/ceramic casserole dish, or roasting pan (stay away from cookie sheets as the grease from the bacon may overflow)

My mom has made these for years! and they ar a very quick way to a man's heart! I went to a christmas cocktail party, and wanted to bring these, but they were to be served on a tray. So I stuffed them in a Croissant triangle, the Pilsbury ones, and they flew like hotcakes, and you could make a double batch, and cook them as they were needed.

You start them out the same way, wrapped in bacon, just without the brown sugar. After you bake them for about 20 minutes, you take them out, let them cool, and then start wrapping them. Inside the wrap, you put the weenie/bacon and sprinkle the brown sugar on top and then wrap it up. Bake them until golden brown, serve. They also go with honey mustard or ranch dippings

I had this recipe saved for a bit now, and this weekend I was invited to a small get-together, but the hostess said she didn't have much in the way of snacks. I recall this recipe, got all my ingredients and made them. Oh... my... goodness... They were such a hit! They went so fast; I had to make myself leave the kitchen after they were done to keep from eating them all! I'll definitely be making them again!

In the UK they are called "pigs in blankets" you can also use stuffing instead of sausage hmmmmm :)

our pigs in blankets are typically sausages wrapped in biscuits or croissants.

Looking at the pictures, the bacon on the weenies doesn't look very crispy, and looks like it may be a bit undercooked making the bacon chewy. But is that the case? Or am I wrong and the bacon is in fact crispy and chewable?
Just wondering, cuz these actually look very delicious and I'd want to try it, but I had to ask because I hate chewy bacon! >=P

I like to roll mine in equal parts of brown sugar and chili powder. You can also substitute cubed chicken breasts for the smokies.

How well do these travel? Do they get soggy after a short time? I'm wondering if they would be good to take to a pot luck....
