Laura Belle’s Tip

2 containers of crescent rolls yield 48 skinny triangles. Most packages of cocktail franks have about 35 pieces. You have options! If you’re feeding a crowd, use 2 packages of cocktail franks and freeze any left over. Or only make 1 container of crescent rolls which will yield 24 pieces.

Recipe Variations

Meat – Spicy chicken sausages, breakfast sausages, hot dogs (cut into thirds)
Cheese dog – Add a small slice of cheese inside the blanket
Other seasonings – Make your own Everything But The Bagel Seasoning by Cooking withAyeh or swap it for garlic powder, onion powder, and sesame seeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What If I Don’t Have Crescent Dough?

You can use buttery puff pastry, pizza dough, or pie crust, just be aware that the baking time may need to be adjusted.

Can I Use An Egg Wash Instead Of Melted Butter?

Yes you can. Slightly whisk one room temperature large egg in a small bowl.

What Brand Of Whiskey Can I Use?

My favorite is Jack Daniels but you can use your favorite whiskey or bourbon.
