Glazed Pigs In a Blanket Ingredients:

Glazed Pigs In a Blanket are a fun and flavorful twist on everyone's favorite classic savory treat. For the "pigs" part of the recipe, you'll need:

• Hillshire Farm Lit'l Smokies or other mini hot dogs - It's not Pigs In a Blanket without the piggies! There are about 35 to 40 links in each 12-ounce package of Lit'l Smokies, so a single package should work just fine for this recipe.

• Crescent Rolls - Crescent roll dough forms the blanket around each Lit'l Smokie link.

For the glaze, you'll need:

• Butter - Unsalted butter forms the base of this tasty, buttery glaze.

• Brown sugar - Brings the sweet element to the sweet-and-savory glaze.

• Yellow mustard - Adds a tangy zip.

• Poppy seeds - Add a textural and visual element to the baked piggies.

• Onion powder - Nicely seasons the glaze.

• Worcestershire sauce - Brings savory richness to the glaze.

• Salt & pepper - Just a pinch of each is all you need to balance out and enhance the flavors.

How to Make Glazed Pigs In a Blanket:

Just like regular Pigs In a Blanket, Glazed Pigs In a Blanket are pretty easy to make. There's just the extra step of making the glaze. -- But that little bit of extra effort is sure worth it!

To whip up a pan, start by wrapping the piggies. To do that, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforations. Then cut each triangle through the point into two pieces, creating two long triangles from each.

Place a Lit'l Smokie on top toward the wide end of each crescent dough piece. Beginning at the wide end, roll each Lit'l Smokie up in the crescent dough, ending at the dough's tip. Each Lit'l Smokie should peek out a bit on both sides of the roll.

Place the piggie rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish greased with non-stick cooking spray. 

To prepare the glaze, melt some butter in a small saucepan. Then add brown sugar, some prepared yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, removing it from the heat as soon as the glaze comes to a boil.

Brush the tops of each piggy in the pan with some glaze to be sure each one gets coated. Then pour the remaining glaze all over the rolls.

Pop the pan in the oven and bake the piggies uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, until they're a nice golden brown.

Then you're ready to enjoy the Glazed Pigs In a Blanket deliciousness!

With that buttery sweet-and-savory brown sugar glaze, they're certainly a tasty twist on this beloved all-time favorite. And simply perfect for game day, tailgating, and as any party's fare.
