Crescent Roll Substitute

If for some reason you can’t buy crescent rolls, you can replace them with puff pastry or biscuit dough. No worries, they are as delicious as crescent rolls. You are free to experiment on your choice of pre-made dough. You can also make your own version. But if you want that classic taste of pigs in a banket, crescent rolls would be excellent.

Other Toppings

Aside from coarse salt, there are many options when it comes to the topping. In fact, you can top your pigs in a blanket with anything that you want. Instead of plain butter, you can also brush the baking sheet with garlic butter. That right there is a winner in flavor!

The bottom line is, you have the freedom to add your choice of seasoning to these little guys. 🙂

Cocktail Wiener Replacement

Can’t find cocktail wieners anywhere? Not a problem! You can actually utilize the regular size hotdogs. You just have to cut them to any size that your heart desires. That’s it! You can then follow the same steps above.

What About the Dip?

Well, that’s one good thing with pigs in a blanket. They can go with anything. They are good with ketchup, mustard, ranch dressing, and even barbecue sauce!
