LIP-SMACKIN, PARTY-SNACKIN MINI PIGGIES IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to designated temperature on the crescent roll package.
• Open the tubes of crescent rolls and unroll each triangle. With kitchen shears, cut the triangle in half, so that you're cutting off the pointed tip end. Then, take the top part of the existing triangle and cut that in half lengthwise. Each triangle will now be in 3 pieces for a total of 24 pieces per tube.
• Spread each piece of crescent roll with a bit of the Hot Sweet mustard and place a few shreds of cheese down the length of each.
• After opening and draining the Lil Smokies, take one Lil Smokie and place it on the widest end of the dough strip and roll it up.
• Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and space the piggies evenly on the tray.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve with additional Beaver Hot Sweet Mustard and ketchup for dipping, if desired.
• To save time, I usually make these days or weeks in advance, layer them in a tupperware container and then freeze them. You can take them right out of the freezer, put them on the baking tray to thaw for a few minutes, and then pop in the oven. Too easy!

SUNNY'S BK CURRYWURST PULL APART PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• For the sauce: Use cooking spray to coat the inside of an 8-inch springform pan. Spray the outside of a 3 1/2- to 3 3/4-inch-diameter ramekin and place it in the center of the springform pan. Set aside.
• Whisk together the ketchup, honey, curry powder and plenty of black pepper in a small saucepot. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat; set aside.
• For the rolls: Lightly dust your work surface and a rolling pin with flour. Unroll the puff pastry and roll out to a 14-by-9-inch rectangle. Dust the top all over with the curry powder. Using one frank as a guide, cut the pastry into strips slightly smaller than the franks, about 1 1/4-by-2 1/4 inches. Roll each frank in a piece of pastry and pinch the seam to close it.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Starting with the outer circle and allowing some space between, place each pig in a blanket vertically in the prepared springform pan in two concentric circles. Chill for 30 minutes. Bake until the tops are golden, about 35 minutes, then cover loosely with foil and bake until the inner puff pastry is baked through, about 25 minutes more. Pour the sauce in the ramekin and serve.
