I love bringing delicious appetizers to game days or parties that I know everyone will go crazy over. Similar to this homemade cheese dip, my popular little smokies, or these crispy egg rolls.

Pigs in a Blanket

Jalapeño pigs in a blanket is the best of both worlds. Smokey sausage and creamy jalapeño bacon flavors are all bundled up inside a buttery crescent roll. The creamy cheese melts and every bite is incredible! Everyone loves to snack on pigs in a blanket at a party game day! It’s just one of those appetizers that kids AND adults can’t get enough of. Jalapeño popper anything is always a hit! Starting with classic jalapeno poppers, you can never go wrong serving these as an appetizer. And if you want more jalapeño popper-inspired recipes, try this soup or this dip!

Jalapeño Popper Pigs in a Blanket Ingredients

Pigs in a blanket with a jalapeño popper spin? Yes, please! This classic appetizer is now even better, and your guests will devour them! Plus, you’ll love the added cream cheese layer loaded with jalapeños and bacon!

Cream Cheese: Use room temperature cream cheese. Fresh Jalapeños: Deseeded and minced for the perfect amount of heat. Add the seeds if you like it spicy! Bacon: Crispy chopped bacon is extra yummy in this appetizer. Salt and Black Pepper: To taste! Garlic Powder: Adds garlic flavor and is SO delicious! Cocktail Sausages: Use cocktail sausages or 8 hot dogs cut into 3rds. Crescent Rolls: Canned crescent roll sheets are so convenient but canned crescent rolls if you can’t find the rolls. Egg: The egg wash gives them a pretty sheen, but you can use melted butter if you prefer.

Jalapeño Popper Pigs in a Blanket Recipe

These jalapeño popper pigs in a blanket are just as easy to make as my original pigs in a blanket recipe. Only a few simple steps and then you’ll have a tasty appetizer your family and friends will love!

Dough: If you like more dough around your cocktail sausages, skip the step where you cut the strips of dough in half and make 12 pigs in a blanket. You can also use puff pastry instead of crescent dough! Butter Glaze: Instead of egg wash, you can brush your pigs right out of the oven with some melted butter mixed with garlic powder and salt for a garlic butter finish! Spice it Up: I chose to deseed my jalapeño before mincing it, but you may keep the seeds for a spicier filling! You may also substitute drained diced green chilis or canned or pickled jalapeños to change things up.

In the Refrigerator: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To Reheat: Reheat in the microwave for 25-30 seconds or bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, until heated through. Alternatively, you may heat them in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Make in Advance: Prepare your pigs in advance! Once wrapped in the dough, you can cover them tightly with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking them.
