It’s believed that the first written recipe for pigs in a blanket appeared in Betty Crocker’s “Cooking for Kids” in 1957. While this certainly wasn’t the first time someone wrapped a sausage in pastry — both the German Würstchen im Schlafrock ("sausage in a dressing gown") and the Czech kolache have been around for a lot longer than 60 years — this was when many Americans were introduced to the delicious snack. Since then, they have taken off like tiny, pork-laden rockets, a staple of appetizer spreads the world over.

Puffy, meaty, and just a tad sweet (thanks to the mustard sauce), our Pigs in a Blanket (or Mini Sausage Rolls, if you prefer) are delicious and addictive.
