Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
- 24 mini hot dogs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles. Cut each triangle into three smaller triangles to create bite-sized wraps.
- Take each mini hot dog and wrap it completely with a small triangle of crescent dough, ensuring the dough covers the entire hot dog. Place wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, and mustard. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each wrapped hot dog with the brown sugar-honey glaze, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the glaze is caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. The glaze will be extremely hot, so allow them to set slightly before serving.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm. These make perfect game day appetizers or party snacks.
Tips
- Use cold crescent roll dough for easier handling and cleaner wrapping.
- Cut the dough triangles evenly to ensure uniform cooking and presentation.
- Don't skip the parchment paper or silicone mat - it prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Watch the glaze carefully while cooking to prevent burning - it can caramelize quickly.
- Let the pigs in blanket cool for a few minutes to allow the glaze to set and prevent burning your guests.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the glaze.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and quickly reheated in the oven just before serving.
- Serve with additional mustard or a spicy dipping sauce for extra excitement.
