How to cook and best cocktail weenies recipes?

My daughter has been asking me to make cocktail weenies forever now. I'm not a big fan of them but I told her that I would. What do any of you cook them in (as far as sauce). I think that I have usually had them in BBQ sauce. Do you make your own?

I tried to look up a recipe but don't know exactly what they are called.

What can I do next?

Thanks for all your wonderful responses...I chose the BBQ sauce but I recall having the chili sauce and grape jelly ones before and liked them so maybe next time I will do them that way. I am doctoring up my BBQ sauce with some spices however. Thanks again. I am also bringing them to a gathering tonight. Hope they like them also.

I either just do bbq sauce, or sometimes add a little ketchup, mustard, and honey to the sauce. Really depends on what your dd likes. You can cook them in any sauce she likes.

We all love these at our house. I agree with the other post the Hillshire Farms are the better ones. We like them with Famous Dave's BBQ sauce or the KC Masterpiece brand is really good too. I've also had people tell me to put a little bit of grape jelly in them. Sounds weird but lots of people swear its good. I have tried the grape jelly in meatballs and it was good. Crockpot is the best and easiest way to make them.

Okay, this might sound a little weird, but they taste awesome! I usually use 1 package of the weenies, 1 jar of chili sauce and 2-3 spoonfuls of jelly. Just toss them in the crock pot with chili sauce and grape jelly. My dad has been making them this way since I was little and I loved them and now my daughter, husband and his family love them this way! Trust me, they taste great! K.

I've had them most of the time in the BBQ sauce in a crock pot. You could also make pigs in a blanket where you wrap them in biscuit dough and bake them which are very good. I agree as well, Hillshire Farm is best!

I keep it simple: a jar of BBQ sauce and a package of weiners. Voila! Done! Not much for nutritional value, but once in a while I think it's okay.

My kids LOVE these as well (and, like you, I am not a fan of them at all). I buy the Hillshire Farms cocktail sausages (the other brands are fine, but the kids like the Hillshire ones better) and I dump some Ken's BBQ sauce on them until covered in the crockpot and turn on low until heated through - stirring occasionally. Stick some toothpicks in them and your daughter will love it.
