I know this is pie & beets week, but I ran across a bunch of Brussels Sprouts links ..... the first was a
Bacon and Brussels Sprouts with Bowtie Pasta
http://www.creative-culinary.com/bacon-brussels-sprouts-bowtie-pasta/
and after that recipe were the 12 other links. The one that REALLY caught my eye is for:
Brown Sugar Bacon Brussels Sprout Bites
http://heygrillhey.com/recipe/brown-sugar-bacon-brussels-sprout-bites/
This is basically Brussels Sprouts wrapped in a half slice of bacon & secured with a toothpick/skewer, dipped in a sweet rub & brown sugar & grilled. I can barely stand to look at the pictures they look so good!
The sweet rub recipe link is given in the recipe:
The BEST Sweet Rub for Grilled Pork and Chicken

Those brown sugar and bacon ones look great!
