🥓🔥 Moink Balls: The Ultimate Bacon-Wrapped BBQ Bite

If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that’s easy to prep and big on flavor, meet your new go-to: Moink Balls. This smoky, savory classic brings together meatballs and bacon with a little Whiskey Bent magic to make bites that disappear fast. Let’s cook!

🧾 Ingredients:

• 1 bag frozen meatballs (thawed for about an hour)
• 1 pack (12 oz) bacon – thin or thick, your choice
• Whiskey Bent “The Mash” rub
• Whiskey Bent “Brizzy” rub
• If It Wins BBQ Sweet Smoke Q Sauce
• Toothpicks

🔪 Prep Steps:

1. Season Lightly
   Dust your thawed meatballs with Brizzy rub for that first layer of flavor.
2. Wrap ‘Em Up
   Cut bacon slices to size and wrap each meatball, just enough for a slight overlap. Secure with a toothpick.
3. Add That Bacon Flavor
   Place the wrapped meatballs on a greased cooking screen or rack. Sprinkle The Mash rub over the bacon for a savory bark.

🔥 Smoke Time:

• Set your smoker to 275°F.
• Cook the Moink Balls for about 1 hour, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispy.

🍯 Sauce + Set:

Once the bacon’s where you want it:

1. Glaze or dip each Moink Ball in Sweet Smoke Q sauce.
2. Pop them back on the smoker for 5 minutes to set that glaze.
3. Give one last dusting of The Mash, then let them rest for 5–10 minutes.

🍴 Serve & Enjoy

Smoky, sweet, savory, and straight-up addictive—these Moink Balls are perfect for parties, tailgates, or just treating yourself. Don’t expect leftovers.
