Ghosts in a Blanket

Ingredients

  • 8 precooked hot dogs
  • 2 crescent dough sheets 8 ounces each
  • Ketchup or mustard for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the hot dogs in half crosswise, making level cuts so the halves can stand upright.
  • Unroll each crescent dough sheet and cut it into nine rectangles, approximately 4 by 3 inches. Use 16 rectangles.
  • With the dough lying flat, use drinking straws to cut out two eyes and a mouth in each rectangle – just under the imaginary halfway line.
  • Stand the hot dog halves on their cut ends on the prepared baking sheet. Drape a dough rectangle over each half with the face positioned at the front. If you want, you can also squeeze the dough to make arms and fluff the bottom to get a draped look.
  • Bake for 11–13 minutes, until the dough is golden and the hot dogs are hot. Check the crescent dough package for its recommended baking directions.
  • Serve with ketchup or mustard.

Notes

Hot dog size: I used regular hot dogs, not bun-length hot dogs.
