Spooky Spider Halloween Hot Dogs Recipe

Original recipe yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
• 8 hot dogs
• 2 tablespoons ketchup, or to taste

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).

Step 2: Unroll the crescent dough. Pinch or press the perforation between the triangles to create 4 rectangular pieces.

Step 3: Cut each rectangle in half lengthwise, making 8 narrow strips. Set aside.

Step 4: Take a hot dog and make a 2-inch slice through the center of one end. Then, make two more 2-inch slices on either side of the center slice, so the legs are approximately the same thickness. Repeat the process on the other end of the hot dog. Continue cutting the remaining hot dogs in the same way.

Step 5: Roll a crescent dough strip around the center of each hot dog, covering it with the dough. Arrange the spider dogs on an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 11 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 7: Once baked, dip a chopstick into some ketchup and dot "eyes" onto each spider dog.

Step 8: Serve with the remaining ketchup for dipping.
