Brown Sugar Smokies aka Pork on Pork

I found this recipe at http://www.allrecipes.com/. It's definitely a keeper. To make them even better... let them marinate overnight!

Brown Sugar Smokies
AKA Pork on Pork

1 (16 ounce) package little smokie sausages
1 pound bacon
1 cup brown sugar, or to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut bacon into halves and wrap each strip around a little sausage.
Skewer each wrapped sausages on a toothpick.
Arrange the skewers on a baking sheet (i used a broiler pan so the smokies didn't sit and go soggy in the drippings) and sprinkle them liberally with brown sugar.
Bake until bacon is crisp and the brown sugar melted.

For even better smokies do the following:
totally smother the bacon wrapped smokies with brown sugar...the more the better. I have found that they turn out perfect when I wrap them up the night before, put them in a ziplock baggie with the brown sugar, toss well, and let "marinate" all night. Then, covering them with all of the sauce they've created, I bake them for an extended time until crisp. Not being surprised if they take 45 minutes. It's even better if midway, you turn them.
