2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a baking sheet lightly to prevent sticking.

3. Slice Bacon: Cut each slice of bacon into thirds to create smaller pieces that will wrap around the cocktail wieners.

4. Wrap Wieners: Take each small smoky cocktail wiener and wrap a piece of bacon around it, securing it with a toothpick if needed.

5. Arrange on Baking Pan: Place the wrapped wieners on a foil-lined baking pan, making sure they are evenly spaced for even cooking.

6. Bake: Transfer the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bacon starts to render its fat.

7. Prepare Glaze: While the wraps are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the ketchup and dark brown sugar in a small bowl until you get a thick, smooth mixture. Optionally, add cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

8. Glaze Wraps: Remove the cocktail wieners from the oven and brush each one with about 1 teaspoon of the ketchup-brown sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

9. Return to Oven: Place the glazed wraps back in the oven and continue baking until the bacon is lightly crisp and golden brown. Be careful not to overcook, as the bacon may become too hard.

10. Serve: Once done, remove the Mini Smoky Bacon Wraps from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Arrange them on a platter and watch them disappear within minutes!

These Mini Smoky Bacon Wraps are best served warm and can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce. Whether you’re hosting a party or simply craving a savory snack, these flavorful bites are sure to be a hit with everyone. Enjoy! 🎉
