Skinny Pigs in a Blanket

Here's the recipe for the Skinny Pigs in a Blanket I mentioned in my easy healthy broccoli slaw post.

I made them with just 3 ingredients: 97% fat-free Hebrew National hot dogs, a package of refrigerated Pillsbury Simply Buttermilk Biscuits and sesame seeds.

WW Skinny Pigs in a Blanket

If you have been on Weight Watchers for a while, you've probably heard about Hebrew National's 97% fat-free franks. They have just 40 calories and *1 WW SmartPoint (compared to *5 or more Points in most hotdogs.) And I think they taste great.

Have you tried Pillsbury's line of "Simply…" products? They are not necessarily "light." But they do have less junk in them. The Simply…^®Buttermilk Biscuits contain zero grams trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial colors or flavors.

Recipe Notes

Each biscuit has 100 calories, 4 g fat, 15 g carbs, 0 g fiber, 2 g protein and *4 Weight Watchers Freestyle SmartPoints.

I flattened the biscuits into 4-inch round "blankets" to wrap around my hotdogs.

If you have more biscuits than hotdogs, just bake them along with your skinny pigs in a blanket. You can then save them for breakfast or enjoy them warm from the oven, which is what we did. (Warm from the oven biscuits are pretty hard to resist.)

I lightly misted the biscuit "blankets" with water and sprinkled on a few sesame seeds, which dressed them up a bit. But, this is totally optional.

How Many Calories and WW Points in these Pigs-in-a-Blanket?

According to my calculations each Skinny Pigs in a blanket has 140 calories and:

5 *SmartPoints (Green plan)
5 *SmartPoints (Blue plan)
5 *SmartPoints (Purple plan)
4 *PointsPlus (Old plan)
