If you follow Taste Arkansas, you know I love small finger foods. These Bacon & Cheddar Pigs in a Blanket are no exception. These were my favorite food as a child and I still love them as an adult. I used maple bacon in this recipe and it added a level of flavor that made these pigs in a blanket even better than usual. If you’re looking for a kid-friendly and adult-loved party food, this is it.
Did you know that Arkansas farmers raise more than 1.8 million pigs each year?
