But my favorite part about this simple recipe is the super short list of ingredients! To make you own crescent roll wreath, you’ll need:

• Little smokies. Fill your crescent rolls with little smokies sausages to create classic pigs in a blanket. Any type or flavor of sausages will work in this recipe.
• Seasoning. You can easily add more flavor to your crescent rolls with the help of a few seasonings, like garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley flakes.
• Butter. Topping your crescent rolls with melted butter helps them bake into a golden brown color and adds tons of flavor to the recipe!

How to Make a Pigs in a Blanket Wreath

Putting this adorable Christmas appetizer together couldn’t be easier! Just follow these quick and easy steps for preparing and decorating your pull apart pigs in a blanket.

Start by opening both packages of crescent rolls and unrolling the dough. Separate all the triangles and cut each triangle in half to create two long strips.

After that, tightly wrap each strip of dough around a mini sausage until it’s fully covered with the dough.

Lightly spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, then arrange the wrapped sausages tightly in the pan. You’ll end up with two rows of crescent roll wrapped sausages in the pan.

After that, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley flakes in a small bowl. Brush the butter mixture over the top of the crescent rolls until they’re fully coated in the sauce.

Cover the Bundt pan with a piece of aluminum foil. Place the pan in the oven to bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Then, you can remove the cover and continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes, until the crescent rolls are golden brown.

What to Serve with a Pigs in a Blanket Wreath

Now that you know how to make this cute appetizer, the last step is to figure out how to serve it! Luckily, there are a variety of great options when it comes to finding snacks to enjoy with your little smokies.

Once you have your wreath appetizer and ready to go, serve it with some of these dips and decorations at your party.

• Dip. One of the best ways to enjoy your pigs in a blanket is with some dip! Fill up a small bowl and place it in the center of the wreath for easy snacking. There are tons of delicious dips you can serve with your wreath, including honey mustard, chili cheese, ranch dressing, Dijon mustard, Ketchup, or cheese dip.
• Herbs. Give your wreath a Christmas look with the help of some fresh herbs as decorations. You can use sprigs of rosemary, dill, or parsley to create the look of greenery around the wreath on the plate.
• Tomatoes. Another simple way to decorate your appetizer is with small cherry or grape tomatoes. Place the around the edges or on top of the wreath to add a pop of color.

How Do You Remove Pigs in a Blanket From a Bundt Pan?

Once you have your appetizer baked, you’ll see that it looks amazing in the pan! So, how do you take it out of the Bundt pan without it falling apart?

Make sure the crescent rolls are slightly cool first! It’s important to allow the dough to cool in the pan before you attempt to remove it. That’s because it will be very soft right after it comes out of the oven, making it difficult to pull the entire wreath out in one piece.

After allowing the bread to cool for around 10 minutes, use a flexible spatula or butter knife to carefully loosen the sides of the wreath from the pan. Then, use both hands to slowly lift the wreath out of the pan and onto your serving tray.
