These bite-sized treats are so cute to serve. Everyone loves them! How simple can you get with just 2 ingredients? I used reduced-fat refrigerated dinner rolls and 97% fat-free all-beef hot dogs. Each has 40 calories, 2 grams of fat and 1 Blue WW Freestyle SmartPoints, and 1 Green. I like to serve them as an appetizer or as a fun lunch with a salad on the side. And be sure to out my favorite way to make pigs in a blanket, Skinny, Pizza Flavored Pigs in a Blanket.
Ingredients

Ingredients for dipping: Optional

Place 1 mini hot dog on the shortest side of each triangle; roll up to opposite point. Fold in any dough sticking out. Place, point side down on cookie sheet. Repeat steps to make 24 total.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet onto a serving plate.
