Spicy Bacon Breadsticks

Ingredients & Directions 1/2 c Light brown sugar 4 ts Ground red pepper; (I used -cajun spice) 10 sl Bacon 10 Breadsticks; (like Stella -Dora) Happy New Year!!!! This weekend I tried a great appetizer. I got it off the Home and Garden channel on TV so I’m not sure who to give the well deserved credit to. Combine the brown sugar and spice in a shallow bowl. Wrap each slice of bacon around the breadstick so it almost covers the whole stick. Coat the bacon wrapped breadstick with the brown sugar mixture and bake on a cookie sheet for 15 min or until browned at 350 degrees. Let them cool on the cookie sheet so that the bacon firms/crisps up. Enjoy. Yields 1 Servings
