Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each bacon strip into thirds.
Wrap a piece of bacon around each cocktail smokie.
Secure the bacon with a toothpick, if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped smokies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix brown sugar and black pepper.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture generously over the smokies.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy!
