6. Optionally, add spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne.
7. Place wrapped smokies in a glass baking dish for easy cleanup.
8. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to help the sugar stick better.
9. Bake for 30-45 minutes until bacon is crispy and caramelized.
10. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
11. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes
Refrigerate the wrapped smokies before baking to help the brown sugar stick better and create a more even glaze.
Use a glass baking dish instead of a foil-lined sheet pan for easier cleanup and better caramelization.
Broil for a couple of minutes at the end to make the bacon extra crispy.
