Football season is here! So is football snacks season — bring on the dips, chips, nachos, and fried things of all sorts. Not long ago I rediscovered a favorite from my youth — pigs in a blanket. Think this humble snack isn’t worthy? Hogwash! They’re simple to make and disappear quickly. Your guests will squeal with delight when they see a platter of these tasty little treats — watch out for those who try to hog them. Pigs in a Blanket are perfect for enjoying while you watch your team toss the pigskin around.

Ingredients
- 1 8-oz tube crescent rolls
- 1 12-oz package mini cocktail franks
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- Coarse salt and/or everything but the bagel seasoning, for sprinkling on top
- Mustard and/or ketchup for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Unroll crescent roll sheets and tear or cut into triangles along perforations. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 thinner triangles.
- Place a cocktail frank on the larger end of each triangle and roll up.
- Place wrapped franks on a medium baking sheet. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle lightly with salt or everything but the bagel seasoning. (Note: I like to do half with salt, half with the seasoning.). Bake until dough is lightly golden, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Serve hot with mustard and/or ketchup.
