3. Securely wrap each sprout in a bacon strip and place it, seam side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper.
4. Bake until the bacon is crisp and the Brussels sprouts are browning in places, 30 to 40 minutes. Drizzle the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts with honey and top with chives.
