Pigs in a Blanket {Kid-Friendly}

“Pigs in a Blanket” are a childhood favorite my mom often made when I was a kid, and are now a lunchtime staple with my kids as well. They are easy enough to make that I like to include them in the prep, and like Tacos in a Sleeping Bag, sometimes a cool name goes a long way. Try “mini” pigs in a blanket too, by cutting the dough into smaller portions and substituting Little Smokies for the hot dogs.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy. Serve with favorite dipping sauces if desired.
