Prepare a clean workspace with wax paper to protect the countertop from brown sugar.

Place little smokies in a bowl for easy access.

Prepare toothpicks in a separate container for easy grabbing.

Slice the bacon into thirds to ensure it wraps around the little smokies completely.

Roll a little smoky in a slice of bacon, overlapping slightly, and secure with a toothpick.

Coat the bacon-wrapped smoky in brown sugar, pressing down to get as much sugar on as possible.

Place the bacon-wrapped smokies on a tray lined with aluminum foil.

Add any remaining brown sugar on top of the smokies before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the smokies for at least 25 to 30 minutes, checking every five minutes for doneness.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the tray before transferring to a plate.
