These Lil Smokies pigs in a blanket are the perfect party snack or appetizer! They’re so easy to make and even better when served with dip!
My first experience with pigs in a blanket were the breakfast variety – sausage wrapped in a pancake and dipped in syrup. Those are tasty, but I’m more of a savory girl these days and that’s where these Lil Smokies Pigs in a Blanket come into play.
These make the perfect snack or appetizer, are excellent for feeding a crowd, and couldn’t be easier with just 4 easy steps and 4 simple ingredients!
We love to serve these with a variety of dips, like warmed cream cheese, honey mustard, or even our homemade queso!
Much like our Grape Jelly Lil Smokies or our hot honey wings, these are a huge favorite with friends and family. A must make!
