Smokies in a Blanket are a great snack for the kids, or for a group of friends. They are very simple to prepare, and they are fairly frugal. It cost a total of $4.86 to purchase all of the ingredients for this recipe. We don’t even use all of the Little Smokies for the recipe, so the cost per Smokie in a Blanket is only about 16 cents. That makes this an inexpensive snack or appetizer, and even though they are made with some prepared ingredients, Smokies in a Blanket are much more economical than purchasing a box of 32 of a similar appetizer for nearly $12.00. We’re not just about saving money, though. Did I mention that these are very tasty? Smokies in a Blanket have been approved by every member of my family, even Food Critic. Believe me when I say that he’s named Food Critic for a reason.
All you need to make these is a package of beef Little Smokies. At our market, all of the packages of Little Smokies cost the same price regardless of the type of meat they contained, so I chose beef. This recipe can be made without modification with other types of Little Smokies if you prefer.
Here’s how to make some Smokies in a Blanket.
Open a package of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into the eight sections that it’s designed to be broken into One at a time, lay each triangle of dough on a cutting board, and cut it into thirds from the narrow end to the point. I used a pizza cutter for this because it seemed like the simplest method. This will give you three narrow strips as shown in the photo.
Separate the strips from one another. 
Place a Little Smokie on the end of the dough opposite from the point. It should look as if the dough is pointing away from the small sausage.
Roll the smokie up in the dough until it all of the dough had been wrapped around it.
Arrange the smokies on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, and bake at 350 degrees until golden.
These can be served with mustard, ketchup, ranch, or Sue Chef’s favorite, Honey Mustard Dressing.
