Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar, or more to taste
• 3 tablespoons red chili powder
• 1 (12 ounce) package thinly sliced bacon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a wire rack.

Step 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.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
