Sweet Sausage Rolls

⏱ 40 mins 🍽 48 rolls 🏷 < 60 Mins

These sweet sausage rolls make a fantastic party appetiser. Smoked cocktail sausages are wrapped in triangles of crescent roll dough, then arranged in a baking dish coated with a mixture of melted butter, chopped pecans, honey and brown sugar. They bake until the pastry is golden and puffed. The result is a delightful combination of flaky pastry, savoury sausage and a sticky, nutty glaze.

Sweet Sausage Rolls

Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce) cans crescent roll dough
  • 48 cocktail smoked sausage links
  • 1 cup butter (melted) or 1 cup margarine (melted)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Method

  1. Unwrap the crescent roll dough and separate it into the pre-cut triangles. Slice each triangle lengthwise to create three long, thin triangles.
  2. Take one cocktail sausage and position it at the wider end of a dough triangle. Roll the dough around the sausage tightly until fully enclosed.
  3. Continue wrapping each individual sausage in the same manner until all are used.
  4. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, mix together the melted butter, chopped pecans, honey and brown sugar.
  5. Place each prepared sausage roll into the dish, ensuring the seam where the dough meets is facing downwards and nestled into the butter mixture.
  6. Bake in an oven preheated to 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry has turned a golden brown colour.
