Homemade pigs in a blanket are the perfect last-minute appetizer. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Any time there\u2019s an occasion for appetizers<\/a>, be it game day, New Year\u2019s Eve, a backyard cookout, or a fancy cocktail party, my husband\u2019s go-to is pigs in a blanket. And last year, after years of simply buying a box from the freezer aisle, I decided to try my hand at making them myself. So, I grabbed a can of crescent roll dough (hello, buttery, flaky goodness!) and a package of mini cocktail sausages and got to work. And you know what I learned? It is surprisingly easy to make pigs in a blanket at home! <\/strong>I can\u2019t believe I never tried it sooner. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n So, you\u2019re making pigs in a blanket for game day and you want to make them extra special. I\u2019ve got a few hot tips to make them stand out so they\u2019re even more of a hit. For starters, you\u2019re gonna want some solid dipping sauces (more on that below). My absolute favorite way to make pigs in a blanket feel special is by sprinkling some flaky salt or a spice blend on the dough before baking. Everything bagel seasoning<\/a> is always a crowd-pleaser (and adds a really nice crunch), and seasoning blends like Everything But the Elote<\/a> and the Green Goddess<\/a> blend from Trader Joe\u2019s would both work well. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Mustard and ketchup are classics here, but truly any kind of dip, spread, or dressing, be it homemade or store-bought, is fair game here. Here are a few favorites to try.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n There\u2019s nothing better than a solid spread of apps for nibbling during game time. Creamy dips (with chips, crackers, or cut veggies for dunking) are always a good idea, as are wings, jalape\u00f1o poppers, and nachos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat to Add to Make Them Special<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
