Main Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz.) package Hillshire Farm Lit’l Smokies or other mini hot dogs (about 35 to 40 links)
- 2 tubes crescent rolls
Glaze
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Cut each triangle through the point into two smaller long triangles.
- Wrap Mini Hot Dogs: Place one Lit’l Smokie toward the wide end of each crescent dough piece. Starting at the wide end, roll the hot dog up in the dough, ending at the dough’s tip, ensuring the hot dog peeks out slightly from both ends.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the wrapped hot dogs seam side down in a 9×13-inch baking dish that has been greased with non-stick cooking spray.
- Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately remove from heat to prevent burning.
- Glaze the Rolls: Brush the tops of each wrapped hot dog with the warm glaze, making sure to coat them evenly. Pour any remaining glaze over all the rolls in the baking dish for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Bake the pigs in a blanket uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm, glazed bites as a delicious appetizer or party snack.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh crescent roll dough and mini hot dogs of good quality.
- The glaze should be brushed on while warm for easier spreading and better adherence.
- If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of brown sugar slightly.
- This recipe yields approximately 35 to 40 mini pigs in a blanket, ideal for large groups or parties.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
