Pigs in a blanket are the best party snack, full stop. Freezer-friendly cocktail wieners or mini chorizos are wrapped in buttery crescent roll dough. But this version goes Chicago-style—they’re slathered with yellow mustard, sprinkled with poppy seeds and celery salt, and bundled with an adorable cornichon. Don't forget the neon green relish.
