A quick and easy snack featuring cocktail sausages wrapped in buttery crescent roll dough, baked to crispy perfection and served with a tangy, sweet honey mustard dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 cocktail sausages (about 24 small sausages)
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
  • For the Honey Mustard Dip:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Open the crescent roll dough cans and unroll the dough onto a clean surface. Pinch seams together if perforated to create a single sheet.
  3. Cut the dough into 24 equal triangles or rectangles, each large enough to wrap a cocktail sausage.
  4. Wrap each cocktail sausage snugly in a piece of dough, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the tip, overlapping slightly to seal edges.
  5. Place wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  6. Brush each wrapped sausage generously with melted butter. Sprinkle garlic powder and sesame or poppy seeds over the top if using.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until dough is puffed and golden brown and sausages are heated through. Check after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
  8. While baking, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  9. Remove pigs in a blanket from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving with honey mustard dip at room temperature.

Notes

If dough is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before cutting and rolling. Do not overcrowd baking sheet; bake in batches if needed. For extra crunch, broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully. Substitute gluten-free dough or almond flour dough for gluten-free option. Swap mayonnaise with Greek or dairy-free yogurt for lighter dip. Use vegetarian sausages for a vegetarian version.
