Mummy Dogs

I found this recipe for mummy dogs in a local newspaper recently, and thought they would be something easy, quick, and fun to make with your boys.  They're basically pigs-in-a-blanket, but boys can make their own little mummies, then enjoy it as a tasty snack (throw a side in, and it's a little meal!).  They'll make a great snack for sleepovers - just pass out the hot dogs and rolls, and have everyone fashion their little hot dog mummies.

This recipe makes 10 mummies

Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 13-17 minutes

1 (8-oz) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

2-1/2 slice of American cheese, quartered

10 large hot dogs

cooking spray

mustard

Heat Oven to 375 degrees.

Unroll the crescent dough and separate at perforations to create 4 rectangles.  Press at perforations to seal.

With a knife, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough - this will be the "bandages".

Slice cheese slices into quarters; for the 1/2 slice, cut in half.

Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog, along with a 1/4 slice of cheese, to look like bandages.  Stretch the dough slightly to completely cover the hot dog.  At about 1/2-inch from one end of the hot dog, separate the "bandages" so the hot dog mummy's face shows through.

Place on a large, ungreased cookie sheet, cheese side down, Coat dough slightly with cooking spray.  Bake 13-17 minutes, or until dough is a light golden brown, and the hot dogs are hot.

Draw a little face for your mummy with mustard.

Serve with ketchup and mustard.  For a meal, also serve with a side of fresh vegetables or fruit (e.g. celery sticks, carrots, pineapple spears, apple...etc).

These are so cute! If you make them, snap some pictures of your creations and share them with us!
