Description: Feast your eyes on these Hot Dog Mummies, if you dare. These spooky guys are perfect for a Halloween dinner or costume party event. This is also great for restoring energy in the kiddos before heading off for an evening of trick-or-treating. This is not only a favorite amongst kids, but also a hit with adults!

Ingredients:
1 11-ounce can of refrigerator breadsticks
1 12-pack of hot dogs
Yellow mustard

Cooking Directions:

1. For each mummy, separate one breadstick from the roll and use kitchen shears or a knife to slice it in half lengthwise to create two thinner strips.

2. Wrap one strip at a time snugly around the hot dog. Depending on the size of the hot dog, you may not need all of both strips. Leave about 1/2 inch of hot dog exposed for the face area and continue wrapping the top of the hot dog.

3. Bake the mummies on a cookie sheet at 350º for 15 to 18 minutes or until the breadstick wrapping is golden brown.

4. Remove the mummies from the oven and cool them for 5 minutes. Add yellow mustard eyes just before serving. Makes 12 mummies.
