Ingredients
- 16 ounces bacon
- 14 ounces little smokies
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions

- Stir together until combined.
- Sprinkle this mixture over the wrapped smokies. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
