Description

Pretzel rods are wrapped in spicy brown sugar-coated bacon slices and baked for a sweet and savory appetizer perfect for your next get-together.

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar, or more to taste
3 tablespoons red chili powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 (12 ounce) package thinly sliced bacon
1 (15 ounce) package short pretzel rods

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a wire rack.
2 Mix brown sugar, chili powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Dredge both sides of each bacon slice in the brown sugar mixture. Wrap a coated bacon slice around each pretzel rod, leaving a small space at the bottom of pretzel uncovered for easy handling. Arrange wrapped pretzels on the wire rack atop the baking sheet.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
