Pigs in a Blanket are a classic appetizer or snack made with hot dogs or cocktail sausages wrapped in a crescent roll or puff pastry and baked until golden brown. They are often served at parties, gatherings, or as a fun treat for kids.
To make Pigs in a Blanket, you would start by preheating your oven and preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, you would roll out the crescent roll dough or puff pastry and cut it into strips.
Pigs in a Blanket can be served with ketchup, mustard, or other dipping sauces for added flavor. They are a simple and delicious snack that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.

Line two sheet pans with foil and coat with cooking spray.
Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough and separate the dough into 16 triangles.
Cut each dough triangle into thirds, lengthwise.
Place a wiener at the thickest end of the triangle. Start at that end and roll up each wiener.

Bake each tray for 13-15 minutes or until dough is golden brown. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
You can use any type of miniature sausage for this recipe – I’ve done it with hot dogs, little smokies and chicken apple sausages, all with great results.
Can’t find mini hot dogs? You can also use larger hot dogs that are cut into 4 or 5 pieces.
