In the US, pigs in blankets refer to hot dogs or Vienna sausages wrapped in a biscuit or croissant dough. The first written record of pigs in a blanket occurs in Betty Crocker's Cooking for Kids in 1957. National Pigs-in-a-Blanket day is full of tasty sausage-based treats. Pigs in a blanket are also known as devils on horseback, kilted sausages, and wiener winks. They are typically small in size and can be eaten in one or two bites.
