These are really good. I used to make something similar for parties: But I’m an evil chef. So I’d take cocktail wieners and wrap them in sliced crescent rolls, puffed pastry or dunk them into a batter and then into my Vollrath deep fryer. You can do the same with the full sized hot dogs. They’re epic!

So easy and quick! I switched up the toppings and used a variety of herbs and spices on top of the egg wash instead of the caraway. They were a hit! In fact, I think the next time I make crescent rolls, I'll use the egg wash and herbs idea.
