BACON-WRAPPED PIGGIES IN A BLANKET – A bite-sized snack featuring cocktail smoked sausages wrapped in bacon and then crescent rolls. They’re quick and simple to make, and they’re sure to disappear in no time.
Bacon-Wrapped Piggies in a Blanket are a bite-sized version of the classic pigs in a blanket, and I love them so much more. I especially love how quick and simple they are to make.
These little snacks are a big hit with my family. The first time I made them my son ate more than half a batch in one sitting!
It’s important to not let the bacon start to crisp up when cooking it before assembly. If the bacon is still pliable it will be much easier to wrap the cocktail sausages, as well to wrap the crescent roll on the outside.
You can freeze Bacon-Wrapped Piggies in a Blanket! Just wrap them up after they are fully assembled and stick them in the freezer. Then, once you’re ready to bake them, take them straight out of the freezer and bake them for just a little longer than the time calls for.
Here’s what you need to make Bacon-Wrapped Piggies in a Blanket…
- Thick-cut bacon
- Refrigerator crescent rolls
- Cocktail smoked sausages
- Dipping sauces
