An festive appetizer for your holiday

Pigs in a blanket have always been a classic bite-size snack during the holidays and at parties. In this recipe, we used mini pigs in a blanket to create a delicious holiday wreath appetizer.

We added fresh rosemary and a candle to the center of this wreath to make it even more festive. If you're a vegetarian, simply replace the little smokies sausages with your favorite veggie dogs.

Serves 12

Ingredients:

1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
24 little smokies mini sausages
Rosemary and a small candle as garnish (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll them, separating the rolls individually (there should be a total of 8). Cut each of the 8 pieces of dough into 3 pieces, making a total of 24 pieces. Take a mini sausage and wrap one piece of dough around it and set aside. Repeat for the remaining sausages.
Once all of the mini sausages have been wrapped, arrange them on the baking sheet to form a circle. Bake for 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are a golden brown.
Remove from the oven and very carefully transfer to a serving platter. Fill the center of the wreath with fresh rosemary and a small candle. Serve warm or at room temperature.
