game day food...

The original recipe for these little morsels came from my Dad's cousin Nancy, who brought these to Christmas a few years ago - super easy & so so yummy.  We were trying to come up with a clever name for them...essentially they are "brown sugar & pecan pigs in a blanket."  Cory suggested "sweet pigs with warm nuts in a brown blanket."  That's my man :)

Ingredients:
1 package lit'l wieners
2 cans of crescent rolls
1/2 stick of butter
1/8 cup of brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey
handful of chopped pecans or pecan chips

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Assemble your pigs in a blanket then bake them on a cookie sheet for approximately 10 minutes or until they are starting to turn golden brown.  While those are baking, melt and mix together the butter, brown sugar and honey in a sauce pan over medium-high heat.  After the pigs are done cooking, transfer them into a 9 x 13 baking dish.  Pour the brown sugar butter mixture evenly over the pigs.  Return them to the oven for another 3-5 minutes.  Remove from the oven & sprinkle with chopped pecans...Enjoy!  This recipe makes approximately 30 pieces, I doubled the recipe for Super Bowl Sunday!
