- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions

Notes
Variations:
- Wrap different flavors of cheese slices around your Little Smokies to make your pigs in a blanket extra cheesy.
- Try wrapping your Little Smokies with a half slice of bacon before rolling it in the crescent dough.
- After you've brushed the butter on, sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning before baking.
Helpful Tips:
- Bake seam-side down so they don't unroll as they bake.
- Try to space them out on your baking sheet so they bake more evenly.
- Brush with some extra garlic butter when they come out of the oven for even more flavor.
- Make a simple mustard dipping sauce with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
Storage
- Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 7-8 minutes or until warmed through.
- Microwave for 10-20 seconds (keep in mind the crescent rolls will be soft if using this method to warm them.
