While we’re probably all familiar with the little treats known as Pigs In a Blanket, have you ever considered pickles instead of sausages? It might seem odd at first, but once you taste these Baby Dills In A Blanket you are sure to be hooked! They’re everything we love about the classic appetizer with a little extra zing. A thick layer of flavored cream cheese is spread on the dough and wrapped on with the pickle for an extra rich touch. Whether you’re hosting game day or a casual get-together, these dills are guaranteed crowd-pleasers.

The first (and probably most important step) here is to drain the pickles. Feel free to save the juices for another use, but we don’t want soggy dough! Once drained, place them on a plate with some paper towel to soak up the last of the juices. Next up, the cream cheese mixture. It’s a heavenly mix of tangy cream cheese, garlic, dills, and just a hit of spice with some red pepper flakes. Scoop a little cream cheese onto every triangle of dough before wrapping them up and placing on your baking sheet.

These babies will cook just a little longer than the directions for the crescent rolls suggest (because they have all that goodness inside!). After about 15 minutes they should be golden and good to go. We do want to warn you that the juice inside the pickles will be piping hot so give them a little time to cool before digging in. For a real treat, serve them up with your favorite ranch dressing and watch them disappear!
