Instructions
Preheat the Oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the Dough. Roll out the crescent roll dough and press the seams together.
Cut into Triangles. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut three lines through the dough to divide it into four equal parts (see the photo). Then cut triangles into each part. They do not have to be perfect. You should end up with 32 triangles.
Roll them Up. Place a cocktail weenie on the larger end of the triangle and roll it up. Repeat until you run out of dough.
Place on a Baking Sheet. Place on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Brush with Butter. Brush the tops of each one with butter.
Bake. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Serve. Serve on a platter with your favorite dips.
Notes
Recipe Tips
Keep the crescent roll dough cold so it's easier to cut and work with.
Brush with butter for added flavor.
Make a double batch because they disappear fast.
