These Lil Smokies Pigs in a Blanket are a quick, delicious snack perfect for gatherings, featuring flaky crescent rolls wrapped around savory cocktail sausages.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Remove crescent rolls from the package. Gently unroll the dough, keeping the perforated sheet intact. Press over the seams gently to create a single sheet of dough.
Use a pizza wheel to cut the crescent sheet into four sections. Then slice each section into 7 triangles.
Place one cocktail sausage at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the sausage in the dough, then place each piece on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with melted butter, sprinkle with sea salt if desired, and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve hot with your choice of ketchup, mustard, or other dipping sauces.
Notes
Roll the sausages gently to keep the dough intact.
Press the seams of the dough firmly but gently to prevent separation during baking.
Try adding garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the melted butter for added flavor.
Offer a variety of dips like honey mustard or barbecue sauce to cater to different tastes.
