I made these for my family's Christmas Eve party last year, and they were gone in minutes. I was asked to make them again this year. I only cut the bacon in half, and dredge both the smoky and the bacon in brown sugar, then wrap the smoky and stick a toothpick through. When all are wrapped, I put them all in a ziploc with any remaining sugar or any syrup that was made while they were being prepared and let them marinade in the refrigerator all night. Then an hour before I need them I put them on a foil lined baking sheet and sprinkle them with more brown sugar. I bake them at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, then take them out and flip them over and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Then I put them in the crock pot. I add 1/4 cup pancake syrup to the sugary stuff in the pan and pour that over the smokies in the crock pot. Then when I get to the party, I keep the crock pot on low until they're gone. *** Small Update: I got a George Foreman grill for Christmas. We had some of these left over this year. My husband took them and put them on the George Foreman to heat them up yesterday, and it just slightly caramelized the sugars and gave them a wonderful taste and texture. We will definitely remember that when it's time to make them next year!
