Sweet Pigs in a Blanket decides that the classic pigs-in-a-blanket formula leans a little too heavily on the savory and could use a little balance. After taking a bite, you’ll know that a little sweetness really can elevate the beloved appetizer! Instead of wrapping the juicy, savory sausages in puff pastry, it uses a spiced and sweet cinnamon roll dough baked to a golden brown as its wrapping. The icing on top really adds to that hit of sweetness your tastebuds are craving. You won’t need dipping sauces to enjoy Sweet Pigs in a Blanket… they’re pre-dipped in joy!
