Pigs In Blankets Recipe: Perfect For A Party Or Any Time Snack (original) (raw)
A360
On weekends I’m know for throwing impromptu get-togethers at my place over drinks. So I’m always on the lookout for quick last-minute party bites to serve my guests. That’s why I love this tasty Pigs In Blankets recipe. It’s a quick and easy twist on a classic finger food. And we give it a sweet spin.
The short-cut secret to getting these bites into the oven and onto the table in practically no time? Pie crust mix! You simply mix it with a little water, roll it out and you’re ready to go. Now for the sweet spin: Spread the dough with apricot jam before adding the mini franks. The fruity jam pairs perfectly with the smoky dogs. Prefer a savory appetizer? Simply sub in brown mustard or ketchup. Once you give ’em a try, we know they’ll be a new favorite. Let us know in the comments below.
