Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 package (14 oz) mini smoked sausages
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough

Glaze

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake your treats evenly.
Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into the original triangles as indicated on the packaging.
Cut smaller triangles: Cut each crescent triangle into three smaller triangles, perfect for wrapping the mini sausages.
Wrap the sausages: Take each mini smoked sausage and wrap it with one dough triangle, then place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Bake the wrapped sausages: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the glaze: While the pigs in a blanket bake, mix together the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
Brush the glaze: Remove the baked pigs in a blanket from the oven and generously brush the prepared glaze over each one while still warm.
Set the glaze: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the glaze to set and slightly caramelize.
Serve warm: Once glazed, remove from the oven and serve the pigs in a blanket warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can place the baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven during the final glaze baking step.
If you prefer a spicier glaze, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the glaze mixture.
Use toothpicks to secure the dough around the sausages if needed to prevent unraveling during baking.
Allow leftover pigs in a blanket to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
