If part of the dough pulls apart that isn’t supposed to, use your fingers to close up the seam in the dough. Spread the crescent roll dough flat on the counter. You can also use puff pastry instead of crescent roll dough, if desired.
It’s okay if all of the smaller triangles aren’t perfectly symmetrical or the exact same size.
If you’re using slices of cheese, cut them to fit each triangle so that the cheese isn’t falling off the edge of the crescent roll dough.
If you don’t want to use cocktail wieners, cut up a regular hot dog into 3-4 equal-sized pieces.
The crescent roll doesn’t need to be dripping in butter—spread just enough on top so that it glistens.
Consider sprinkling bacon bits over the crescent rolls, if desired.
If your oven tends to run a little hot, it is a good idea to check the pigs in a blanket after about 10 minutes.
Ration out the servings so that everyone has the same amount, or serve all of the pigs in a blanket on one dish and let everyone serve themselves. Other sides that go great with pigs in a blanket are baked beans or fruit salad.
