Notes

These Healthier Pigs in Blankets are best eaten straight away but they will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven.

If you want to get ahead of your Christmas cooking and get these all prepped now then you can make the pigs in blankets but instead of baking them, flash freeze them on a tray or plate for a few hours until hard. Then transfer to a freezer bag or container to store in the freezer. When you want to cook them you can either defrost them and bake as normal or bake them directly from frozen, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the cooking time.
