2917. BACON-WRAPPED PRETZELS with BROWN SUGAR and CAYENNE GLAZE

1 package pretzel rods
1 lb. bacon, regular cut
2 cups brown sugar
3-4 tablespoons red chili powder
dash or two of cayenne pepper

Break the pretzels in half, or cut them with a very sharp knife. Cut the bacon slices into half. Mix the sugar, chili powder and cayenne in a medium size bowl and then spread it out on a large flat dish. Coat each strip of bacon on both sides with the brown sugar mixture. Press firmly to make sure a lot of it adheres to the bacon. Wrap the bacon around the pretzel. Place the pretzel on a wire rack placed on top of a baking sheet or roasting pan. Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes or until bacon cooks and appears crisp.
