Pigs in a Blanket
One of our favorite appetizers, Pigs in the Blanket are fun and easy to make. Lil' Smokies wrapped in a flaky crecent roll. They are perfect for New Years Eve, the Super Bowl, Christmas, or even Halloween.
Ingredients
- 8 oz crescent rolls
- 12 oz mini cocktail weiners
- 1 Tablespoon butter melted
- toppings such as coarse salt, red pepper flakes, poppyseeds and everything bagel seasoning optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Open crescent rolls and cut each roll into 3 long skinny triangles.
- Place a cocktail weiner on crescent roll, at the top (the widest part). Roll up the weiner using all of the dough. See above for a process picture of how this works. Place each pig in a blanket on the baking sheet, about 1.5 inches apart. Butter the tops of each one with a pastry brush. Top with seasonings if desired. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Dip in whatever you want! Ketchup, mustard, cheese sauce and ranch are the most popular dips.

Notes
- When cutting the crescent rolls into the triangles, we highly recommend using a very sharp knife. They can be a little sticky and a sharp knife (serrated can help too) makes it so much more manageable.
- Some of my long skinny triangles ended up having a very narrow top. If this happens to you, gently stretch the top part to create a wider top.
- If you forget to put the butter and/or seasonings on before putting them into the oven, don't worry I've done this before too. You can add the butter and/or seasonings after they come out of the oven too.
- My favorite cocktail weiners are lil' smokies, but any brand will work!
- For a little sweetness, sprinkle some brown sugar on the weiners before rolling them up.
- While testing this recipe I found that the butter soaked into the rolls fairly quickly and the seasonings stopped sticking as well. I recommend buttering about 6 at a time to combat this.
- Our favorite seasoning to add is the red pepper flakes! We love the little kick it adds.
