Crescent Mummy Dogs - in honor of Halloween!

Here is an interesting and very easy recipe to make for Halloween. I think your family would love it!
I made these for my dear friend's party last week. She did not have the large hot dogs and we used 'lil-smokies...same concept with slight alteration but they were gone in a flash...kind of like when I make Lumpia!

Hot dogs are all wrapped up in a classic recipe for Halloween...or anytime a chuckle is in order.

Prep Time:
30 Min
Total Time:
50 Min
Makes:
10 sandwiches

INGREDIENTS
1can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
2 1/2slices American cheese, quartered (2.5 oz)
10large hot dogs

Cooking spray

Mustard or ketchup, if desired

DIRECTIONS
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."

Adventures in my kitchen...

Many friends and family ask me to share my recipes. I have decided to blog what I do in my kitchen...I create my own recipes, follow many other chef recipes and I like to alter some recipes to make it my own. I will also give you some tips in the kitchen. I don't specialize in any particular cuisine and can cook anything. You will find my repertoire diverse as I post my recipes! The challenge is to have many types of food stores where you live. Many recipes call for specialized items and with the power of the internet, you can also find it online. I tend to cook with healthy ingredients. Stay tuned for my postings and let me know how you like it too!
