Hot Dog Baby Spiders

A simple and kid friendly appetizer for Halloween are these adorable Hot Dog Spiders. They take only 3 ingredients but they still taste great.

The recipe calls for black sesame seeds for the eyes, but unfortunately I had none so I used poppy seeds instead. Still cute, just a little less noticeable. Placing the eyes is a great project for little ones that want to help in the kitchen.

Super quick and super cute for a Halloween party. Enjoy!

Equipment

• 1 sheet pan lined with parchment paper

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 6 each hot dogs
• 1 tubes refrigerated crescent dough
• 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds for eyes
• ketchup, mustard or any condiment for dipping

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400-f. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut each hot dog in half lengthwise, then cut each piece in half crosswise (each hot dog will make 4 treats). Keeping the middle intact, use the tip of a knife to make 3 slices at either end of each hot dog piece (this will make 4 legs on either side).
• Once all the hot dogs are cut, cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long (you may not use all of the dough). Wrap a piece of dough around the middle of each hot dog, pinching to seal the dough, and place, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Press 2 sesame seeds into the middle of each strip of crescent to make eyes.
• Bake until the dough is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm with ketchup on the side.

Notes

Note: If you would like to make these larger, make 2 servings per hot dog, instead of four, by only cutting it crosswise.
