What are pigs in a blanket?
Pigs in a blanket (or smokies in a blanket) vary from recipe to recipe, but they are dough wrapped around different sausage-based foods.
How do you make little smokies in a blanket?
In a springform pan! I saw the vide that Delish made and we created our own charcuterie board with mustards and everything “yummy” for a game day party!
This time we used pizza dough to make these little smokies in a blanket, but you can also use crescent rolls.
Can you make pigs in a blanket in advance?
Yes, you can. Make ahead and keep the springform pan in the fridge. Remove from the fridge an hour before baking (or, add extra time for baking because they are so cold).
I found a new quote that I love!
The fruits of your labors may be reaped two generations from now. Trust, even when you don’t see the results. –Henri Nouwen
I think about what I’m teaching my kids (now in their 20s) and how they love to cook and have people over. Maybe not to the extent of this epic charcuterie board every single time, but on a slimmer scale.
It makes me happy as a mom to know my kids understand the importance of hospitality. There are so many styles, when you think of sit-down dinners, potlucks, barbecues, buffet-style (our new favorite way to host in our mountain home). Then there’s GAME DAY!
Set the food out and they will come :)
Lil’ Smokies Charcuterie Board
This Little Smokies in a Blanket Charcuterie Board today is perfect for Game Day if you’re serving a lot of guests! This recipe makes 60 bites, but of course it’s hard to stop at just one, so maybe consider that each person will eat 5, that would serve 12 guests.
Readers ask me a lot how many people this large charcuterie board feeds and I usually say 12-20. Depending on if it’s dinner or appetizers!

Our son helped me whip this up for a few friends and we all got to enjoy it on a cold, chilly day.
On game day, pop in the oven (place a cookie sheet under the pan) and bake. Serve hot with your favorite mustards.
Better yet, serve on an EPIC charcuterie board!
I love Game Day treats, don’t you?

Hi, Lynda. Next week I’ll have the pre-order link up! Be watching blog, instagram, and my instagram stories (for live link).
Oh my goodness…my guys will love this! I actually have some little smokies in the fridge…no pizza dough…could make some or wondering how crescent dough would work? Thank you for this fabulous idea! Wishing you were closer…I think our kids would enjoy one another’s company!
The filled board looks awesome, where do you buy a board like this one?
I bought it in the store at Pier 1 :)
