  • 1 roll of crescent dough

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Slice hot dogs into 1/2-inch chunks.
  • Unroll crescent dough and pinch seams together.
  • Cut dough into 64 small rectangles (about 1.5 by 0.5 inches).
  • Wrap each hot dog piece with a dough rectangle.
  • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8–9 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve warm and watch them disappear.

Notes

Try adding a mini slice of cheddar inside each wrap or use puff pastry or mini smokies for variety. Keep warm in a crockpot with a paper towel on the bottom. Make ahead and refrigerate, or freeze after baking and reheat at 400°F for 10 minutes.
