Equipment
- Tongs or spatula
- Small brush (optional)
Ingredients
- 8 oz crescent roll dough
- 8 hot dogs (regular-sized)
- 16 candy eyes (or mustard dots)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each hot dog into quarters lengthwise, stopping about 1 inch from the top to keep the "head" intact.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Wrap 2–3 thin dough strips around the "legs" of each hot dog, leaving the head uncovered.
- Place each wrapped hot dog on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Optional: Lightly brush the dough with melted butter or oil for browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Add two candy eyes to each hot dog head or use small dots of mustard or ketchup to make eyes.
- Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard.
