These mummy hot dogs are the perfect October family-friendly dinner

Prepare to get asked to make these again (and again).

October is all about Halloween, and we, for one, are pretty much as excited as the kids for this truly lovely (and spooky) time a year.

In between decorating and some seasonal arts and crafts, we also know want to kick the festivities up a notch and serve these seriously cute (and scary) hot dogs for dinner – a meal that is bound to go down a treat in every household right about now, we think.

Note: This recipe calls for crecent rolls, but you can easily use pastry or even a very simple bread/pizza dough to wrap around the hot dogs.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) tube crescent rolls
  • 8 hot dogs
  • Mustard (or aioli) for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 190 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.

Roll out the crescent rolls into one sheet, placing 2 triangles together by pinching the seams to make a square. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each rectangle into 6 strips.

Wrap 3 strips around each hot dog, leaving a little space at the top for the “eyes.”

Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Let cool 5 minutes before adding dots of mustard (or aioli) for the “eyes.” Serve immediately.

YUM!
