It’s almost game day, and if you’re looking for the perfect Super Bowl snack that’s easy, delicious, and fun, these Pigs in a Blanket Footballs are a must-make! They’re a classic party favorite, but with a festive football twist that will impress your guests.
I love using Fork in the Road pasture-raised beef mini franks from Whole Foods—they’re high-quality and flavorful. And instead of traditional crescent rolls, I opt for Immaculate Baking organic crescent rolls, which are made without eggs or butter and use all organic ingredients.
Why You’ll Love These Pigs in a Blanket Footballs:
✔️ Quick & easy – Minimal prep and just a few ingredients!
✔️ Better-for-you ingredients – No artificial additives.
✔️ Fun & festive – Perfect for game day spreads!
Ingredients (Makes 24 – double for a larger gathering)
- 1 can organic crescent rolls
- 1 package little smokies
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ~2 tbsp yellow mustard (I like French’s for its fine tip—perfect for making the football laces!)
Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Roll & Cut the Dough
Roll out the crescent dough and slice into smaller, even-sized triangles. (A pizza cutter works great for this!)
Step 3: Wrap the Smokies
Take each little smokie and roll it in the dough, wrapping it snugly but not too tight.
Step 4: Egg Wash for Golden Brown Perfection
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg + 1 tsp Dijon mustard.
Use a pastry brush to lightly coat each wrapped pig in a blanket—this gives them a beautiful golden-brown finish.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Add the Football Laces
Once they’ve cooled slightly, use yellow mustard to draw the football laces on each piggy. (A squeeze bottle or mustard with a fine tip works best!)
