32 Lit'l Smokies® Cocktail Links

1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dough rolls

Optional: Roasted bell pepper strips, cherry tomato halves and fresh rosemary for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Open package of Lit’l Smokies and drain off any liquid.
  2. Combine cranberry sauce and barbecue sauce in a small saucepan; heat over low heat stirring until smooth and hot.
  3. Unroll dough, separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. With a knife or pizza cutter cut each rectangle lengthwise into 8 strips making a total of 32 strips. Wrap one strip of dough around each Lit’l Smokie®. Place crescent wrapped sausages with sides touching on ungreased cookie sheet or round baking stone in a circle forming a wreath shape.
  4. Bake for 11-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly. Carefully remove wreath onto serving platter, if desired. Garnish wreath with bell pepper strips to form a bow and cherry tomato halves and rosemary sprigs for ornaments, if desired. Serve with cranberry-barbecue sauce mixture.
