Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two rimmed baking sheets with silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Working with one cinnamon roll at a time, place it onto a cutting board, then use your hand to gently flatten it out.
Use a pizza cutter to cut the flattened cinnamon roll into 4 strips.
Place one Eckrich Li’l Smokies Original Cocktail Smoked Sausage onto the end of one cinnamon roll strip.
Roll it up, then seal the seam together.
Place the wrapped smokie seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining smokies. You'll end up with 16 on each baking sheet.
