Steps To Make Hearty Sausage Blanket Bites:
Step 1: Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Then, give a baking sheet a good spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Rolls: Unroll 6 cinnamon rolls and slice each in half lengthwise. It’s a bit sticky, but oh, so worth it!
Step 3: Wrap and Roll: Take half of your cinnamon roll and snugly wrap it around a sausage link. Lay each wrapped sausage on your prepared baking sheet. The sweet dough hugging the savory sausage is where the magic happens!
Step 4: Bake: Pop them in the oven and bake until they turn a lovely golden brown, about 13 minutes. This is a great time to get your coffee ready!

Tip:
For an extra layer of flavor. Try brushing the cinnamon roll dough. With a bit of melted butter. And a sprinkle of brown sugar. Before wrapping them around the sausage links. This small step. Enhances the caramelization while baking. Giving the bites a richer, more developed flavor. And a slightly crispier texture. It’s a simple tweak. That elevates the overall taste. And makes these bites. Even more irresistible!
