Firecracker Hot Dogs
Ingredients
- 2 cans Crescent rolls I used Pillsbury 8oz tube
- 2 packages Hot dogs 16 hotdogs total
- 16 slices Thick Colby Cheese *Trick* Go to the deli counter and ask them to cut you 1/4 inch thick slices of cheese
- 16 Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Take the skewers and stick them in the hotdogs until there is about an inch and a half sticking out of the top.
- Take the crescent roll dough and pull the triangles apart to separate the dough into 16 pieces.
- Wrap the hotdogs in the dough until you get to the top. Note: you may have to trim the dough to make it skinny enough to go around the hotdogs.
- Place the wrapped dogs on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet.
- Bake in the oven at 350° for about 20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are browned.
- While the hotdogs are cooking, you can cut your stars out of the cheese slices and place them aside.
- Once your hotdogs have cooled for 3 minutes, you can stick the stars through the skewer at the top.
- Serve in a cute "firecracker" display or just lay them on top of one another on a plate
