Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package little smokies
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it on a clean, flat surface. Separate the dough into individual triangular sections along the perforated lines.
- Cut each crescent roll triangle into 3-4 smaller triangular pieces, depending on the size of the little smokies sausages.
- Take each little smokie and wrap it completely with a small triangle of crescent roll dough, ensuring the sausage is fully covered. Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Whisk the ingredients together until they form a smooth, well-incorporated glaze.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each wrapped little smokie with the butter-brown sugar glaze, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough turns golden brown and the glaze begins to caramelize.
- Remove from the oven and let the Sweet Little Smokies Rolls cool for 3-5 minutes before serving. The glaze will be extremely hot, so handle with care.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm as an appetizer or party snack. These can be enjoyed immediately or kept warm in a low-temperature oven until ready to serve.
Tips
- Make sure to wrap the little smokies completely to prevent the sausage from bursting during baking.
- Use a pastry brush for even glaze distribution to ensure each roll is perfectly coated.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - leave some space between rolls for even cooking.
- Watch the rolls closely in the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Let the rolls cool slightly to allow the glaze to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley or chives on top before serving.
- These rolls can be prepared ahead of time and kept warm in a low-temperature oven until serving.
