Pigs In A Blanket Christmas Wreath for #BakingBloggers

Welcome to #BakingBloggers! Sue of Palatable Pastime and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm have brought together some of their blogger friends to create #BakingBloggers - every month we have a general theme (such as pies, muffins, cakes, etc.) and we get to share any recipe we'd like. 

This month, our theme is baked party appetizers and it was the perfect chance for me to whip up this adorable recipe!

I love pigs in a blanket! They are a classic and a go-to appetizer in our house. And with some circular arrangement and a little decoration with some rosemary sprigs you'll have a beautiful holiday wreath styled recipe absolutely perfect to serve before any Christmas meal! I won't admit how many of these I may have consumed. 

Pigs In A Blanket Christmas Wreath

Ingredients

1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls

24 Lil Smokies Smoked Sausage

2 TBS Horseradish or Dijon mustard

rosemary sprigs (for decoration)

Ketchup, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Have a round pizza pan ready to arrange the pigs in a blanket on.
2. Roll out the crescent roll dough, brush generously with the horseradish or dijon mustard. Cut each crescent roll triangle into three. Place a Lil Smokie at the thick end of one of the crescent roll strips and roll up, ending at the narrow end. Arrange in a circle shape on the pizza pan, with rolls gently touching until you have used all of the dough and sausages.
3. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Allow to cool a few minutes before carefully moving to a round serving tray (the sections may come apart a little, just recreate the circle shape as best you can).
5. Arrange the rosemary sprigs around the outside of the wreath, and place a small bowl of ketchup in the middle to serve.
