Directions

1 Take the sausage and cook in pan til browned and lightly crisp. Drain fat in jar, or choose to mix it in for extra goodness in the recipe
2 While sausage is cooking, unwrap cream cheese and place in mixing bowl then mix generously with sausage. Can add diced onions or seasoning for extra flavor, but this recipe is good enough to stand without additional ingredients.
3 Take crescent rolls and lay flat out taking each individual triangle and cutting them in half (if not careful you may need to knead triangle into small circles for best effect.
4 Take a teaspoon of the mixture and spoon a little at a time into each crescent roll then wrap mixture up into little ball making sure that mixture is sealed inside (you do not have to keep it completely covered but it creates less mess eating it that way)
5 Place balls individually on each 2 cookie sheets then bake at 350 for approx 8-10 minutes. If you have a particularly fast oven bake at 8 min taking care not to burn bottoms.
6 Cool for about 2-3 minutes and enjoy. With 2 pkgs of crescent rolls should make about 48 balls or roughly enough for 8-10 people.
7 Warning: Do not expect leftovers as these go very, very fast. Luckily as you can see for yourself they are easy to make. And everyone will think you are just so clever for combining 3 very delicious things together.

Am going to try this recipe this weekend, as I have made several variations of the "pinwheel" recipe, and am looking for something different. I agree, the reviews should focus on the recipe, but to be honest, I am going to call them "Sausage Poppers", as the original is unappetizing!!

I made these at work and everyone that tried them said they were delicious. Some thought it was a sausage gravy filling, which is another good idea! My only problem was making the balls. I ended up just filling and baking them like crescent rolls. No complaints there! I also added a little bit of onion powder which also received positive comments. I used the flaky butter crescents, and would definately make these again. Although I can't call mine donkey "balls", maybe I could call them "crescentfuls."

I am going to try these. They sound good. The name is a good conversation piece. There's lots of recipes with weird names, makes a good conversation piece. The reviews should only be about the recipe (hints to make better or why like or not like or amt. of ingredients) and not about name calling, etc. I have read here.

These Donkey Balls are wonderful! I have made them for workshops and for family and everybody loves them! I did make a few changes. I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese, Jimmy Deans Turkey Sausage Crimbles and Pillsbury Creations Sheets cut into squares. The only spice I use is a little onion powder. You can also make theses the night before. Just place on cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refridgerator. The next morning just unwrap and place in pre-heated oven.
