Crescent Mummy Dogs

I had this recipe in my to-do file but missed making it by a week. I knew for sure that Erick would enjoy these because one of his new found loves is hot dogs...especially if they are wrapped in something...corn coating and now Crescent Dough. I didn't make them look very mummy like because working with the crescent material is a pain! But Erick doesn't know what a mummy is so I have time to work on my mummy making skills. I also didn't draw cute little faces on them...who has the time to make artsy-fartsy hotdogs...NOT ME! By the way, Daddy loves these too!

Crescent Mummy Dogs

1 can Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (8 count)
2 1/2 slices of American Cheese slices, quartered
10 large hot dogs
Cooking Spray
Mustard or ketchup, if desired

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll dough; separate at perforations creating 4 rectangles; press perforations to seal. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lenghtwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice, cut in half)

Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like bandages, streatching 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.

Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is lightly golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustand, draw features on face.
