Crockpot Cocktail Links Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1 cup of BBQ sauce
- ¾ cup of grape jelly
- 2 (16-ounce) packages of cocktail sausages
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
BARBECUE SAUCE: Any type of BBQ sauce will work for this easy appetizer recipe, so if you have a favorite brand, I recommend using that. I personally love Sweet Baby Ray’s! You could also make a homemade BBQ sauce to use if you prefer.
GRAPE JELLY: Any brand of grape jelly will do for this recipe. Just as with the BBQ sauce, you can use homemade grape jelly if you prefer!

STEP ONE: Pour all of your ingredients into the crockpot and stir together to coat the cocktail sausages.
STEP TWO: Cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS:
If you are in a hurry, you can also cook them on high for 2 to 3 hours.
STEP THREE: Serve the mini cocktail sausages with toothpicks or cocktail forks and enjoy!
PRO TIP:
You can keep the sausages on a warm setting in your slow cooker for a couple of hours while you are entertaining.

Storage
IN THE FRIDGE: Storage for your cocktail wieners is as simple as the recipe itself. Simply pop them into an airtight container and put them in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the microwave, making sure to get a good amount of sauce!
IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing these sausages after they are made. You can freeze the sausages and then thaw them and add them to your slow cooker when you are ready to serve them.
Crockpot cocktail links are one of the easiest appetizer recipes you will ever make! It’s as simple as gathering the ingredients (just three of them) and mixing them together in the crockpot. Let them cook, and in no time, you have a sweet and tangy appetizer that everyone loves.
