Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- All-purpose flour, for surface
- 1 tube crescent rolls
- 1 package mini cocktail wieners
- 4 tbsp. melted unsalted butter
- Coarse salt, to taste
Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 375ºF to ensure it’s hot and ready to bake the pigs in a blanket until golden and delicious.
- Prepare Dough. Lightly flour a clean surface, then unroll the crescent roll dough and gently tear it apart where perforated. Cut each large triangle into three smaller triangles for the perfect bite-sized portions.
- Assemble. Place one mini cocktail wiener along the thick edge of each small triangle, then carefully roll the dough toward the thinner edge to encase the wiener completely.
- Prepare for Baking. Arrange the wrapped wieners on a medium-sized baking sheet. Brush each one with melted unsalted butter, then sprinkle with coarse salt for added flavor and a beautiful finish.
- Bake. Bake the pigs in a blanket in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Dipping Sauce. While the pigs in a blanket bake, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl. This tangy and sweet sauce pairs perfectly with the warm, savory bites.

- Cutting the crescent rolls into smaller triangles ensures perfectly sized finger foods.
- Brushing with melted butter and adding coarse salt gives the pastries an irresistible golden crisp.
