This hot dog recipe comes together in minutes.

Preheat oven to 375F degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out crescent dough on a surface and cut along the horizontal line to give you two rectangles, then pinch together the dotted angled cuts.

Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut thin strips about ¼” wide. Using 3 strips wrap up your hot dog. You can wrap with wide gaps all the way up, then fill in a couple spaces as you come back down (note: depending on the size of your hot dog, you may want to use only 2 strips).

Leave adequate space for eyeballs when wrapping, keeping in mind the dough will puff slightly.

Place wrapped hot dog on the baking sheet and repeat until all are done.

Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until dough is golden brown.

Place eyeball(s) on your hot dog with a little dab of ketchup or mustard and enjoy.

Hint: If your hot dogs feel a little damp, dry them with a paper towel before wrapping.
