Table of Contents
Give the classic pigs in a blanket a bit of Christmas cheer by baking them in a wreath and serving them with a delectable maple-mustard dipping sauce.
Ok, so maybe Christmas isn’t on your mind yet but it is most definitely on mine and I can’t help but spread the cheer. Around this time of the year, I get super excited as things start wrapping up and we get closer to my most favourite holiday, Christmas! This year, that cheer started even earlier and as I type this, I’ve already made up most of the house and the Christmas tree is all decorated. I know, it might sound crazy but I just can’t get enough Christmas.
And since food is SUCH a big part of Christmas, I start thinking about everything I can serve or bring to the many holiday parties happening around this time of the year. This pigs in a blanket wreath with its totally drool-worthy dipping sauce is all kinds of amazing. Not only is it a classic appetizer that EVERYONE loves, it’s also baked in an adorable wreath which gives me all the excited Christmas feels.
The dipping sauce is a super simple throw-together kinda thing and can be adjusted depending on your taste. You could even add a few dashes of hot sauce to spice things up a little.
