Ingredients
- 32 pieces Cocktail sausages (Lil Smokies)
- 2 cans Crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Open the cans of crescent roll dough and unroll the sheets. Separate the dough into pre-cut triangles.
Step 3
Cut each triangle of dough into 2 smaller triangles to accommodate the cocktail sausages.
Step 4
Place one cocktail sausage on the wider end of a dough triangle, then roll it up tightly, securing the tip of the dough under the sausage to prevent unrolling during baking.
Step 5
Arrange the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for even cooking.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, yellow mustard, and honey to make the glaze.
Step 7
Brush the sausages with melted butter for a golden finish, then spoon or brush a light layer of glaze over each wrapped sausage.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the sausages are heated through.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the Lil Smokies from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with any remaining glaze on the side for dipping. Enjoy Nicki's Lil Smokies as a delicious snack or party treat!
