- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 15
- Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
-
1 package hot dogs (12 count)
-
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or biscuit dough)
-
Candy eyes (or small dots of mustard/ketchup) for eyes
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cut each hot dog in half. Slice each half lengthwise about 2/3 of the way up to create “legs.” Flip and slice again so each hot dog half has 8 thin legs, leaving the top intact for the “body.”
-
Wrap a thin strip of crescent roll dough around the top portion of each hot dog to form the spider’s body.
-
Arrange the spider hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake 12–15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the hot dog “legs” curl slightly.
-
Remove from the oven. Add candy eyes or small dots of mustard/ketchup for the eyes. Serve warm!
Notes
-
Legs: For curlier spider legs, slice them thinner.
-
Make Ahead: Assemble in advance and refrigerate; bake just before serving.
-
Cheesy Twist: Add a small piece of cheese under the dough wrap for extra flavor.
