Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
Open the tube of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 smaller, long strips, resulting in 24 strips.
Wrap each mini smoked sausage with one strip of crescent dough, starting at one end and slightly overlapping the dough as you spiral it around the sausage. Pinch the ends to seal them.
Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to allow for expansion during baking.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic powder.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the melted garlic butter over the top of the wrapped sausages.
If desired, sprinkle poppy seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the smokies to cool slightly before serving. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy!
