Crescent Mummy Dogs

Prep Time: 30 min ; Start to Finish: 50 min   
Makes: 12 sandwiches   

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

 
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (8 count)
2 1/2 slices (2.5 oz) American cheese slices, quartered
10 large hot dogs
 Cooking spray
 Mustard or ketchup, if desired

 

1 .   Heat oven to 375 F. Unroll dough; separate at perforations creating 4 rectangles; press perforations to seal. 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).
2 .   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.
3 .   Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on "face."

1 cup sugar
8 cups water
