I grew up eating “Pigs in a blanket” in my house. My mom grew up in the south, and we would make them with sausage and biscuits. Sometimes our mini crescent dogs would consist of hot dogs wrapped in crescents.
Love Me Some Little Smokies
But when I want something for an appetizer I use “little smokies’. So needless to say I love these Little Smoky Crescents because they are just a little fancier version of my childhood pigs in a blanket.
