Cary NC Halloween Catering Tips

Halloween is only a few weeks away. Your family and friends will love these Mummy Dogs, Ghosts, Pumpkins and Apple Teeth. These are all kid friendly so they would work great for any Cary NC Halloween catering event. If you want to be the talk of the “neighBOOhood” then these treats will do the trick.

Halloweenies

Time:

• 30 min prep time
• 50 min total time
• 5 ingredients
• 10 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 8 oz can of Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 8 oz can of Pillsbury™ Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheets
• 2 1/2 slices American cheese, quartered (optional)
• 10 large hot dogs
• Cooking spray
• Mustard or ketchup

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate at perforations creating 4 rectangles; Dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.
3. Using a knife or scissors, cut the rectangles lengthwise into 10 pieces. This will make a total of 40 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters by taking a half slice of cheese and then cutting it half.
4. Wrap 4 pieces of dough and 1/4 slice of cheese around each hot dog to look like bandages. Stretch 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.” Using an ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
5. Bake 13 – 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and the dogs are good and hot. Use mustard to draw a “face.”

Clementine and Celery Pumpkins:
