These crispy pigs in a blanket bites are quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion. They feature golden, flaky crescent dough wrapped around juicy mini sausages, served with savory dipping sauces.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package crescent roll dough (about 8 oz / 227 g)
  • 24 mini cocktail sausages (about 12 oz / 340 g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (about 120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (about 80 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for ranch dip)
  • Hot sauce (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Open the crescent roll package and unroll the dough onto a clean surface. Press the perforations together to seal them, creating one solid sheet. Cut the dough into 24 even strips, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide.
  3. Take one mini sausage and roll it tightly in a strip of dough, seam side underneath. Repeat for all sausages.
  4. Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) between each.
  5. Mix melted butter with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over each bite.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until dough is puffed and golden brown. Watch closely during the last 5 minutes to avoid burning.
  7. While baking, prepare dipping sauces: whisk together mayo, Dijon mustard, and honey for honey mustard dip; combine sour cream, garlic powder, fresh dill, and a pinch of salt for ranch dip; stir hot sauce into some mayo for spicy sriracha mayo dip.
  8. Remove bites from oven and let cool 2-3 minutes before serving with dipping sauces.

Notes

If dough is sticky, chill for 10 minutes before rolling. For extra crispiness, flip bites halfway through baking. Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking; add 2 minutes to baking time if cold. Air fryer can be used for 8-10 minutes for faster cooking. Avoid microwaving leftovers to maintain crispiness; reheat in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
