Ingredients

  • 2 tubes crescent rolls 8 oz each
  • 2 packages little smokies 14 oz packages, about 48 cocktail smokies

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.
  • Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate into 16 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow triangles.
  • Lay the little smokie down on the crescent roll dough at the largest end. Roll the smokie up in the dough. Pinch dough to seal and place the seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used.
  • Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until tops of crescent rolls are browned. Serve immediately.

Notes

Serving Tip: For parties, when I make a big batch, I’ll set out several different kinds of dipping sauce so everyone can choose their favorite. Pile the pigs in a blanket on a rimmed baking sheet and then place the bowls of sauces on the sheet with them. Makes it easy to serve them!
Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep for several days, but the crescent dough will soften as they sit. They’re best hot from the oven.
Make-Ahead Tip: You can make the pigs in a blanket a day in advance and cover the sheet pan with plastic wrap. Keep them in the refrigerator and then bake them when you’re ready to serve them.
Dough Tip: I think crescent roll dough works great because it’s easy to divide into the right sizes. You can use puff pastry to make them, but you will need to cut the triangles free-hand.
