Mummy Pigs in a Blanket with Golden Crescent Roll Wraps

Baking tightly wrapped crescent roll dough allows it to puff and brown around the hot dogs in the oven‚ with the ends of the hot dogs exposed․ Mummy Pigs in a Blanket are Halloween hot dogs baked with crescent roll dough and candies for eyes that can be served on a party tray․

Try crescent dough or another type of dough․ Press or roll out crescent dough with perforations and other doughs on a floured surface to form a long rectangle‚ then cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips․ The long rectangular sheet of dough can accommodate strips wrapped around hot dogs to leave room for candy eyes․ Hot dogs can be served whole or cut in half before baking․

On the baking sheet‚ position the dough near but not over the hot dog․ The dough will rise‚ and the hot dog will shrink during baking‚ which can cause unshaped hot dogs to fall out of buns․ Bake for 12 to 14 minutes‚ watching for browning‚ and add features and a little ketchup to help hot dogs adhere to buns․

Serve these foods as appetizers at a Halloween party with condiments like ketchup and mustard․ Other appetizers to serve include fruit kabobs and cream cheese twists and pizza rolls․ Refrigerated leftovers can be stored in airtight containers․ Refrigerated foods will have softer pastry wrappers than baked foods․
