Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 package (12-14 ounces) cocktail sausages (Lil’ Smokies)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles.
- Cut each triangle lengthwise into halves or thirds, depending on the size of your sausages, creating long, thin strips. You want enough dough to wrap around each sausage.
- Take one cocktail sausage and wrap a strip of dough around it, starting from one end and rolling until the sausage is completely covered. Pinch the ends to seal the dough.
- Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- If using, brush the tops of the wrapped sausages lightly with melted butter for extra browning.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- For a slightly sweet and savory flavor, brush the tops with a mixture of melted butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar before baking.
- Serve these pigs in a blanket with classic dipping sauces like honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or spicy ketchup for the best party bites.
- You can substitute puff pastry for crescent rolls for a flakier texture. Adjust baking time as needed.
