Directions Candied Bacon Pigs
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Wrap each little sausage with 1/3 slice of bacon, and secure them with toothpicks.
Place the appetizers on a large baking sheet and sprinkle with 3/4 cup of brown sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven until the sugar is melted and bubbling, about 40 minutes, turn the appetizers after 20 minutes.
Remove the appetizers from the baking sheet with a slotted spoon, and place into a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of brown sugar and the five-spice powder over the smokies, and drizzle with the cola. If desired, add hot sauce to taste.
Set the cooker to High, and cook 4 hours. Serve warm.
