Deliciously Spooky Crescent Mummy Dogs

I saw these cute Pillsbury crescent mummy dogs in an ad on a website and because they struck me as a new twist on something I have made several times for myself (come on, who doesn’t like a hot dog wrapped in a delicious Pillsbury crescent roll?), I immediately went looking to see if there was an actual recipe on Pillsbury’s site for them and I was so pleasantly surprised to find that there was so I can share it with all of you.

These adorable mummy hot dogs will most definitely be a big hit with the kids, especially helping you wrap the hot dogs like mummies. The first thing I thought of when I saw them was that they would go over very well served with a hearty and warm soup right before taking them trick or treating to fully get them in the Halloween spirit. Who knew something so simple could provoke so much fun? These crescent mummy dogs would also be a simple and fun touch to any Halloween party.

You will need:

• 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations™ refrigerated flaky dough sheet
• 2 1/2 slices American cheese, quartered (2.5 oz)
• 10 large hot dogs
• Cooking spray
• Mustard or ketchup, if desired

1. Heat oven to 375°F.

2. If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.

3. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).

4. Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like “bandages,” stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate “bandages” so hot dog shows through for “face.” On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.

5. Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on “face.”
