Mummy Dogs

Happy Friday everyone!! I'm so excited about Halloween tomorrow. No, we don't have any kids (except for our cat & dog, who we definitely consider our babies) but we still love to celebrate on Halloween. I mean, who says it's just for kids anyway? I don't think so. We each will sort of dress up, like last year I wore black and painted a kitten face on, and my husband wore a football jersey and put the black lines under his eyes and spiked his hair to make it look like it had been sweaty and he just took off his helmet. We have some candy, 1 or 2 baked goods, we get pizza, play games, and watch Ghost Hunters (on sci-fi channel), and maybe a scary movie. We have a great time, just the two of us. I love that we can have so much fun together. I was thinking of making some Halloween inspired petit fours for our night tomorrow. I'm thinking we'll also have some jello shots!! It will be a great time. I've got at least one last Halloween treat for you all..Mummy Dogs! You really can't go wrong with these, they are so kid friendly. I guarantee you put these in front of your kids on Halloween and they will be thrilled! I used homemade dough, which was actually kind of difficult to work with on these, so as much as I hate them, I would maybe suggest using a canned biscuit or crescent roll. Also, don't pay attention to the cheese in the picture unless you can find a better way to incorporate it than me. I was planning on putting it under the dough, but it just wouldn't work out. After I photographed them, I just melted it on top. Give these a try with your kiddos tomorrow for lunch, or dinner!!

Ingredients:

the amounts will differ depending on how many you make

Hot Dogs

Dough (homemade, or canned)

Mustard

Extra-Sharp Cheddar Cheese, if desired

Directions:

Roll a strip of dough about a foot and a half long, and start twirling it around the hot dog, and at the end, wrap the dough completely around the end of the hot dog, leaving a space between that and the last twirl of dough so you have a place to put your "eyes". Bake in a pre-heated 450 degree (that's what my dough calls for) oven for 12-15 minutes. In the space between the dough on the hot dog, dot 2 eyes with mustard. If desires, melt cheese inside or on top.
