There are a lot of fancy Super Bowl snacks out there, but pigs in a blanket will always be the first thing gone. Every. Single. Time. These are made with juicy Lil Smokies wrapped in buttery crescent rolls and baked until golden, then served with a simple homemade dipping sauce that takes them completely over the top.

They’re easy, nostalgic, and totally irresistible which is exactly what you want for a game day party when everyone’s grazing the Super Bowl appetizers in between plays in the big game.

I’m going to fail you all a bit when it comes to the Super Bowl…we don’t watch it. It hasn’t always been easy, and it was an important decision for our family to not watch the Super Bowl. I know, don’t hate me, but Sunday is our one day set aside for our family and religion. However, we still enjoy a lot of good food (check out our Super Bowl Food Recipe Roundup for more ideas!), so I really wanted to step up a bit and provide our readers with more options for the big day. Food is everything for a football gathering, am I RIGHT?!

I decided to take a nod from our famous ham and cheese sliders and make a new version. Because of my love of chopped salads and the goodness of Italian delis I decided to jump into a fresh version of baked sliders.
