Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 (14 ounce) package cocktail smoked sausages (Lil’ Smokies)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
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 triangles.
- Cut each triangle lengthwise into three smaller, thinner strips. You should have 24 strips total.
- Take one cocktail sausage and wrap one dough strip tightly around it, starting at the wider end and rolling toward the tip. Pinch the ends to seal.
- Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to create a glaze.
- Brush the tops of the wrapped sausages evenly with the butter glaze.
- 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 with your favorite dips.
Notes
- For a savory-sweet glaze, add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar to the butter mixture.
- Serve immediately with classic yellow mustard, honey mustard, or a creamy ranch dip.
- If you prefer a flakier texture, substitute puff pastry sheets for the crescent rolls, cutting them into similar strips.
