Making your own homemade puffy dogs couldn't be easier. These copycat marathon puffy dogs are so much more delicious than the original frozen version. Cook these pigs in a blanket in your oven or air fryer. Perfect for game day, entertaining or an after school snack. Love Marathon Puffy Dogs? Why not try making your own at home? Puffy dogs, or pigs in a blanket as they are also known, are so quick and easy to put together and far tastier than the frozen kind. All you need is 3 ingredients! Puff pastry, cocktail frankfurts / hotdogs and an egg. I like to sprinkle some sesame seeds or everything but the bagel seasoning on top but this is entirely optional! Make these pigs in blankets in either the oven or air fryer - both are great, although the air fryer is a little faster.

Can’t find mini hot dogs? Cut regular hotdogs in half.

Keep a close eye the first time you make these if you are making in the air fryer, as cooking time can vary. Check in on them around 5 minutes and see how they are progressing. They are done when the puff pastry is golden brown. Depending on how big your air fryer is, you may need to cook these in batches. STORING – Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. You can also freeze for several months. Simply reheat in the air fryer until cooked through.
