1 package candy eyes

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface, pressing the perforations to seal it into one long rectangle.
Cut the dough into thin slices, about ¼ inch thick.
Wrap each hot dog with the dough, leaving a gap for the eyes. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately place the candy eyes using a small dab of ketchup to stick them on.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

If you’re using whole hot dogs, they may need a slightly longer baking time.
For a fun twist, you can make cyclops mummies by using only one candy eye.
These can be made ahead of time by preparing them up to the point of baking and refrigerating them.
For a gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free crescent rolls and ensure the hot dogs are gluten-free.
