In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, grape jelly, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Allow the sauce to heat up until it begins to gently simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the cocktail wieners to the saucepan, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the wieners, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until they are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch of salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Transfer the miniature wieners and sauce to a serving dish or keep them warm in a slow cooker for serving.
Serve hot with toothpicks for easy grabbing. Enjoy!
