At first glance you might think that these little guys are sad and looking for their mummies. On closer inspection you’ll see that they’re wrapped up all warm and snuggly, just waiting for some little hobgoblins to come take them home. These little mummy wrapped sausages are a favorite in our house around the end of October, and we call them Halloweenies.
(I couldn’t pass up the mummy joke, sorry.)
Sometimes simple is better, and it doesn’t get a whole lot simpler than this when it comes to appetizers. Just cocktail sausages wrapped in refrigerated crescent dough and served with a side of mustard, spiced with your favorite hot sauce or horseradish and you’ve got yourself a wiener! (I know. It’s bad, but I can’t help myself!)
Halloweenies make a perfect party opener, but be warned, too many and your guests won’t want dinner. They’re filling! we used beef Lil’ Smokies for this one, but any cocktail wiener you can find will do just as well, I’m sure. They’re great hot out of the oven or at room temperature and can be served with ketchup for kids too little to appreciate a good mustard. (Or adults that just don’t like mustard, for that matter)
Any way you serve them, they’re sure to be a hit! Halloweenies are perfect little bites that are all dressed up for your next Halloween get-together. A perfect snack before trick or treating, too

What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time
I would have eaten a few less of them! They are quite addictive, but tend to be a bit heavy.
