Storage

FAQs

Can I prepare these pigs in a blanket ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just cover the baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap and bake as directed when ready.

Can I use regular hot dogs instead of mini sausages?

While regular hot dogs can be used, you’ll want to cut them into smaller pieces to maintain the right bite size and adjust the dough wrapping accordingly.
