Thank you Paula!!

1 lb. bacon, any kind (maple-flavored works well.)

1 package cocktail smoked sausage links

1 lb. light brown sugar (you can use more if you like)

1 box of round toothpick

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray 9x13 inch cake pan with non-stick spray.

 (Not necessary but will definitely help with clean up) Open package of bacon and cut entire slab into thirds.

Wrap a third of a slice of bacon around each cocktail weenie and secure with toothpicks.

Place each bacon wrapped weenie in cake pan, making sure to crowd them together.

 (You'll want to leave an empty space in one corner of pan for ease of basting.) Liberally cover weenies with brown sugar, leaving only the toothpicks exposed.

Place weenies in hot oven.

Every 10 minutes or so, baste weenies with sugar/bacon grease mixture and break up any lumps of sugar.

Continue until sugar is completely melted and bacon is thoroughly cooked.

Bake 30-40 minutes.
