Hot Chilli Honey Cocktail Sausages

No Christmas Day, Christmas party, Christmas film or Christmas meal is complete without cocktail sausages - however many fancy pants nibbles and treats you make, these are always the first to disappear. Swathed in a thick layer of Hot Chilli Honey, these moreish, savoury, sweet and spicy little nuggets of joy come together incredibly quickly and will disappear even more more quickly.
