Ingredients

  • 1 Package Mini Hot Dogs or cocktail sausages (approximately 24 pieces)
  • 1 Package Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough (8 count)
  • Optional: Mustard ketchup, or other dipping sauces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. You can also spray with cooling oil spray.
  • Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
    1 Package Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough
  • Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles, ensuring they are wide enough to wrap around the mini hot dogs.
  • Place a mini hot dog at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up, ensuring the dough completely covers the hot dog.
    1 Package Mini Hot Dogs
  • Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet with the point side down, spacing them evenly apart.
  • Continue until all 24 hot dogs have been rolled in each crescent roll.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
    Optional: Mustard

Notes

Tips for Success

Wrap Tightly. Make sure to wrap the dough tightly around the hot dogs to prevent them from unraveling during baking.
Brush with Butter. For a golden-brown finish, brush the tops of the Pigs in a Blanket with melted butter before baking.
