Fun Foods for Halloween!!!

Well, after I asked for some tips and ideas for Brook's halloween party on my facebook, I was given some really cute recipes and ideas that were too cute not to share!! My cousin Libby gave me the cute idea for "Mummy Dogs" and My Aunt Mert gave me the yummy recipe to Green Jello popcorn/Witch Hand goodie bags:) Here they are:







MUMMY DOGS!!!




INGREDIENTS

1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations™ refrigerated flaky dough sheet

2 1/2 slices American cheese, quartered (2.5 oz)

10 large hot dogs

Cooking spray

Mustard or ketchup, if desired

DIRECTIONS
1.
Heat oven to 375°F.
2.
If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.
3.
With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).
4.
Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like "bandages," stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate "bandages" so hot dog shows through for "face." On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
5.
Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on "face." Thanks for the idea Libby!!! The kids will LOVE them!!!
