Mini Pigs in a Blanket
I am so excited to share this recipe with you guys today! It’s a recipe that is SO simple to make and one the kids absolutely loved. In fact, we’ve already made it twice this month. š It’s for HotĀ Dog Nuggets! I had spotted a similar recipe in one of my many Paula Deen magazines and knew I had to give it a try. Hers seemed a little more complicated, so I wanted to make it more simple. Fortunately, we loved how it turned out and are excited to have a new recipe everyone in the family loves. š
You see, we’re not super fancy around these parts and tend to have hot dogs or corn dogs each month. Because we have them each month, I feel like it gets a little boring so I wanted to be able to try a “new version” of this classic meal and was pleased at how simple and delicious they were. In fact, Ā they are so simple even the kids can help make them. All you really have to do is slice up the hot dogs, wrap them in small pieces of crescent dough and you’re done. Easy, right?
Here is a better shot to show you how we cut the crescent dough…
You can see that the seams are still visible but pushed together.
Cut into 8 strips.
Cut into 4 strips lengthwise. And then cut those in half…
Wrap each piece of crescent dough around the hot dog pieces and press to seal. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes.
These guys are so yummy and easy to make, which means I’m SURE we’ll be making them more often. š
If your kids love nuggets and corn dogs, then they’ll love these Corn Dog Nuggets. And SCORE for finding another simple recipe everyone loves, right?!

Where’s the corn??
I’m not sure why these are corn dogs, since there is no cornbread involved, but they seem like a quick handy snack for after school!
I’m sorry, it seems like it would be a lot faster to roll the whole hot dog in the dough then cut into pieces.
You can totally do that š
I like the recipe
Thank you so much! Thank you for stopping by š
Great use of all the dough, but not corn dogs at all! No cornmeal or dipping. Glad you changed the name!
How long do you bake them for?
Bake them for 8-9 minutes š Enjoy!!
Thoughts on adding cheese to these??
I have not tried, but I bet it would taste great.
Hi! So iāM going to attempt these but live in the UK.
While searching for the uk equivAlant of āCrescent Doughā its shown me croissant pastry, do these neeD a sweet puff pastry or a normal puff pastry?
Thanks!!
I would use the normal puff pastry š Hope they turn out!
Do you think I could assemble these the night before, and bake the following afternoon?
It should be ok. I would just cover them well, so they don’t harden.
ARe you able to make these then freeze them?
Yes š Enjoy!
Great recipe to make with kids! My 5-year-old son loved it! Thank you

I used kroger brand dough and it took for it ~ 16 mins to bake. Still easy and outstanding snack food ?
Thank you so much for sharing that š
