Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 24 pieces cocktail sausages
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon optional poppy seeds or sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and divide it into 8 pre-scored triangles. Cut each triangle into three smaller triangles, resulting in a total of 24 smaller triangles.
Place one cocktail sausage at the wide end of a triangle and roll it up snugly towards the opposite point. Repeat this for all 24 sausages and place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 15–20 seconds in the microwave). Stir in the honey and brown sugar until combined and smooth.
Using a pastry brush, lightly glaze each wrapped sausage with the honey-butter mixture.
If desired, sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds over the top of the wrapped sausages for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, and enjoy the sweet and savory deliciousness!
