I redeemed myself! After posting my last horribly embarrassing miniature caramel apple fail, I managed to prepare an adorable fall themed dish without it looking like melting intestines.
This time I veered away from the lie machine known as Pinterest and settled for a corporate site. Pillsbury’s website to be exact. It’s full of cute and creepy crescent roll creations, plus each recipe has been meticulously measured in a test kitchen to ensure happy customers and future Pillsbury purchases, unlike Pinterest.
My latest Halloween inspired creations were mummy dogs! I made them while babysitting my elementary school-aged neighbors and they turned out to be a fun and easy dinner project. Plus, you only need five ingredients!
Pillsbury Mummy Dogs recipe
Ingredients: (Serves 6)
- 1 package of hot dogs
- 1 container of Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 6 slices of American cheese
- cooking spray
- mustard (for eyes and dipping)
Step 1: Pre-heat oven to 375
Step 2: Unroll dough and separate to make four square sheets. With a butter knife, cut dough lengthwise into 10 thin strips.
Step 3: Slice cheese in half and wrap around a hot dog.
Step 4: Wrap 4-5 strips of dough around the hot dogs like bandages. Make sure to keep an open space at the top for eyes.
Step 5: Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and place hot dogs cheese side down. Bake for 13-17 minutes.
Step 6: Once golden brown, let mummy dogs cool and add two drops of mustard for eyes.
Step 7: Serve and enjoy!
There you have it, a perfect Halloween treat for big and little kids. Plus, they’ll actually look like the picture!
