on Jan 22, 2015, Updated Nov 16, 2023 15 Comments An appetizer that I’ve always loved is the classic pigs in a blanket. You know the one where you wrap cocktail wieners in croissant dough and bake them until they are golden brown? I can’t get enough of those bad boys! And I’m not the only one around here that feels that way! It seems like they always disappear faster than you can make them – or at least they do around my house. Well, we’ve started making an updated version of this classic recipe by making them with pretzel dough! Mercy! They are so delicious that they may even be illegal! Ha! Rather than making them with croissant dough, we use my husband’s soft pretzel recipe to make these little treats. Oh my heavenly days are they amazing! We do have one trick though. Be sure to pre-bake your cocktail weenies. It allows much of the drippings to bake out of the weenies so that your final pretzel pigs in a blanket are soft and delicious. Here’s my word of caution, if you thought pigs in a blanket disappeared quickly before, you’ve not seen anything until you’ve served these! You better believe they are a part of our menu the big game this year! I’m just planning on making extra pans of them to stash in the freezer so that I don’t run out! Here’s my Pretzel Pigs in a Blanket Recipe. You need ’em! Enjoy!Robyn xo
