Taste of Sweetness Saturday: Savory Goodness

 Today is super sweet, due to lots of brown sugar, and it's also a coronary waiting in the wings.

Here's the Brown Sugar Smokies recipe, from All Recipes.  It doesn't take a lot.  Wrap the smokies in bacon, hook with toothpick, cover with brown sugar, and then bake at 350 until crisp (about 20 minutes, or so).

Super sweet, and oh so good.  You probably won't have any leftovers of these.

Ever!

Bandaged Fingers!

Everyone knows about Pigs in a Blanket, right?  Well, for Halloween you could call them bandaged fingers or little mummies, whatever your imagination allows...  I decided to go with Bandaged Witches Fingers and serve with a nice Bloody Sauce.  They were delicious!

For the fingers:

1 pkg. of Lil' Smokies - I chose the ones with cheddar inside.

1 (or so) pkg of crescent rolls.  (Not to be confused with croissants, I have learned!)

Using your pizza cutter, slice the rolls into strips.  Roll them around the Smokies, and cook according to the Crescent Rolls package suggestion.  I think we ended up cooking them at 350 for 8 (or so) minutes.  Keep an eye on them, and take them out when they turn golden.

For the bloody sauce...

Use 1/2 cup of ketchup with 2 tablespoons of Cider Vinegar and 4 tablespoons of brown sugar.  Mix well.  For a thinner consistency, use more vinegar, for thicker, use more ketchup.  It has a sweet bite that is amazing with the Fingers.  Dig in and enjoy!
