How to Make Pigs in a Blanket With Mini Hotdogs

Pigs in a blanket are party treats that consist of hot dogs wrapped and baked in a chewy dough. A great way to serve these delicious "pigs" as appetizers is to create a mini version of them. The mini pigs in a blanket can be dipped in a variety of sauces, including ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, guacamole or even hot sauce. The snacks can be made quickly, with a small amount of prep work and only two ingredients.

Things You'll Need

• 1 can large crescent roll dough
• Clean scissors, kitchen shears, or knife
• 1 8-oz package mini hot dogs
• Baking sheet

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Open a can of large crescent roll dough and unroll the dough inside. Pull apart the sections of dough and cut each section into four equal pieces using clean scissors, kitchen shears, or a sharp knife.

3. Open an 8-oz package of mini hot dogs and take one out. Place the mini hot dog horizontally over the end of one of the dough strips. Roll the dough strip up and around the mini hot dog, leaving only the ends uncovered.

4. Place each wrapped "pig" on a baking sheet and repeat until all the hot dogs have been wrapped.

5. Bake the mini pigs in a blanket for 12 minutes.

6. Allow the treats to cool for ten minutes before eating.
