I've done this as well... but my favorite bit is to up it to full-sized smoked sausages. Which makes it more of a meal item, rather than an appetizer.
Around here (Norfolk VA.) I can get packs of something close to 20 "full bun" sized smoked sausages. I get a pack of those, and a disposable cookie sheet (easiest cleanup in the world... toss a few paper towels on it, wait for it to cool and chuck the whole thing) and a pack of bacon.
At home I put about half a cup of lt. brown sugar in a sealable container (ziploc bowl ~3 cups) and drop in two (whole) strips of bacon. Give it a shake for about 20 seconds or so. Pull out the bacon and wrap a whole sausage. Done right you really only have to toothpick it once. Top up your brown sugar (if needed) and repeat for however many you're gonna make. About 8 will easily fit on a standard size cookie sheet, and should be enough for 4 people (unless you're like me and love the things so much you'll eat three or four). Toss the sheet in a 350*F oven for 35-40 minutes. Remove from sheet and serve. I keep trying to figure out what would go well with these, so far I've settled on mashed potatoes... but suggestions would be welcome.
