How to Make Pigs in a Blanket
These are my little guys favorite and most requested food. They are simple and quick to make when hunger strikes. The little smokies are one of the few things I buy at the bulk food store (unless I can find on sale)Pigs in a blanket are wrapped in crescent roll dough and cooked to a nice crunch.
These make a great snack and are perfect for taking to parties or having as an appetizer. We event use them as an after school snack to curb hunger before dinner. And yes, sometimes they even become dinner. with some delicious baked beans.
These are perfect to make in the toaster oven if you have one in the summer to keep your house chill. And since my son likes them so much, he’s learned how to cook them for himself.

Notes
- You can buy the crescent rolls in a full sheet and cut, versus buying the triangles.
- Buy your favorite flavor of crescent rolls.
Can I Freeze Before Baking?
You can put them together and flash freeze on a baking sheet. Once frozen, you can label and date a plastic bag and freeze them pulling out what you want to bake and serve in smaller portions.
Do They Need To Be Served Hot?
The pigs in a blanket should be cooked before serving. Once cooked, they can be served and enjoyed. Eating at room temperature is fine too.
What Sauces Go Well With Pigs In A Blanket?
You can use the same condiments that you use for hotdogs: mustard and ketchup. You can also serve dips like honey mustard and barbecue sauce.
Can I Use Hot Dogs Instead?
You can use hot dogs, but cut them into small pieces about 1-2 inches in size to make these. You could also use mini hot dogs. For a light dough, you could also use puff pastry (cut the puff pastry into thin strips just like the crescent dough..
Can You Season the Crescent Dough?
You can put a egg wash on the dough if you want if you are serving at a party. to add additional flavor, you could sprinkle with poppy seed or everything bagel seasoning. You could also put garlic butter on the tops of the crescent dough before baking.
Make It With Puff Pastry!
Want another alternative, use strips of puff pastry. (baking time will be longer)
