TESCO customers will be pigging out on NINE different pigs in blankets this Christmas – including two made from chocolate.
While they might not contain any bacon, these sweet versions of the festive staple will no doubt please dinner guests come dessert time.
One features a hollow white chocolate pig wrapped in a blanket, complete with a strawberry-flavour pink face.
While the other is a milk chocolate pig, also wrapped in a blanket, but in the form of a lollipop.
Both chocolate pigs are available nationwide in Tesco stores now, price at £3.50 for the hollow pig and £1 for the lollipop.
We couldn’t find another retailer seeing a chocolate version of pigs in blankets for Christmas this year.
For those after a more traditional pig in blanket, the supermarket has you covered with regular porkers and savoury treats with a twist.
Tesco has around 7,000 stores in the UK and you can find your nearest one here.
Just remember to check if the pig you want to buy is on sale yet before you make the journey.
We’ve asked Tesco for all the relevant calorie and sugar information and we’ll update this article when we get a response.
Here’s what you’ll find in store:
These porkers are made with British pork but are stuffed with smoked red peppers, paprika and garlic for a Spanish feel.
Alternatively, you can get actual chorizo pigs in blankets from M&S but these ones will set you back £10 for a pack of 32.
For those who fancy something different, these chicken sausages come hand-wrapped in smoked streaky bacon.
We couldn’t find another UK supermarket selling chicks in blankets.
We think this pigs in blankets stuffing wreath would make an excellent centre piece for your Christmas table.
It comes with a centre of cranberry compote to dip those piggies in.
There’s not another UK supermarket selling a pigs in blanket wreath.
For a miniature version, these are cocktail sausages wrapped in rashers of smoked, dry cured streaky bacon.
Waitrose sell a similar product but they cost £4.29 although you do get 16 in a pack.
If you’d rather go large, Tesco is selling full-size pork sausages hand wrapped in beechwood-smoked streaky bacon rashers.
We couldn’t spot any other jumbo pigs in blankets when we search other retailers.
Tesco 12 pigs in blankets – £2 (November 25)
Tesco’s classic take on the Christmas favourite, featuring pork cocktail sausages wrapped in smoked streaky bacon.
Asda sell a party pack of pigs in blankets for the same price so this appears to be the going rate for your festive porkers.

A vegan option for non-meat eaters, these are made with Cumberland style bangers packed with pea protein and roasted mushrooms.
We can’t see other vegan pigs in blankets being sold just yet but it’s worth keeping your eye peeled.
