Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, unsalted butter, honey, cayenne pepper, and ground cinnamon. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Place the smoked cocktail sausages on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced apart.
Drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the sausages, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the sausages in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sausages cool for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken as it cools.
Insert a toothpick into each sausage and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve warm and enjoy these sweet and savory treats with friends and family!
