RECIPE: BACON WRAPPED COCKTAIL WIENERS

The summer weekends fill up so quickly. If it's not this BBQ, it's that Shower and all with a healthy smattering of general beach side procrastination between. There are times when my kitchen is my sanctuary - the summer is not one of those times!

The summer often turns into a pot-luck marathon for me so it's important to have a few quick and easy crowd-pleasers in my back pocket.

Here's one of my favorite go-to recipes. My sister-in-law call these Heart-Attack-On-A-Stick. There's just something about the bacon fat and brown sugar that keep them coming back for more!

What's a summer BBQ without something wrapped in bacon? Lacking!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pack of cocktail weiners (approx 40-50)
• 1 pound of bacon (cut into thirds)
• 2 - 3 tablespoons brown sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Wrap each piece of bacon around a cocktail wiener securing with toothpick, place on baking sheet
3. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over bacon 
4. Bake for 40 - 60 minutes till the bacon is desired crispiness

You can keep the wieners in a slow cooker on the Warm or Low setting to keep your appy warm for the duration of the party, but they really won't last long enough to go cold! 

Enjoy! Happy pot-lucking!
