Bacon Wrapped Pretzels!

When I first saw this recipe I said to myself, "How can this be bad?"...and you know what? It can't be bad...it's absolutely delicious! You just can't go wrong with bacon wrapped around a pretzel rod! And this is not just bacon! It's bacon coated with brown sugar, chili powder and cayenne pepper!

Ready for the oven

As the bacon cooks it soaks into the pretzel rod, making it slightly soft! The sugar coating tastes like a really good smokey/sweet barbecue sauce!  This is such a unique, fun, snack! I'll be serving these at my next party!

DIRECTIONS:

Cut the bacon slices in half.
Mix together the brown sugar, chili powder and cayenne pepper
 and then spread it out on a flat dish.
Coat each strip of bacon on both sides in the sugar mixture.
Wrap the bacon around each pretzel rod.
Then place them on a wire rack on top of a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes or until bacon appears slightly crisp.
