It’s Friday – let’s play with our food. Try these fun ways to use and show hot dogs. The mummies are great for Halloween – bookmark them!

To amaze the kids – thread raw spaghetti through the hot dogs, then boil ‘em till spaghetti is done.

These are adorable!
Do you have any recommendations of hot dogs that parents will love eating as well as playing with?
Thanks!
Betsy

The mummy dogs are first-place weiners!

Love these, Jan! My fave is the Snail Dogs..more so to look at than to eat! And…the next time I make spaghetti, I’m going to do that threading thing, except with sausage. Very cool!

Since I have moved back to Boston, I am going to show these to Simco’s on the Brudge. Maybe they will put them on the menu. (Ask Taylor about Simco’s)

I love this. Wish I’d done that when my grand kids
were younger. Also love to carve fruits and veggies

What are the eyes made of on the first pic? Also, do you have complete instructions for these cute ones yelling “H E L P” in the first photo?

Judy: black-eyed peas formed the eyes in photo no. 1. Sorry: don’t have complete instructions. You need to mold the crescent roll strips or bread dough strips around a cone mold (make one from aluminum foil) before baking…and brush them with egg wash to make them shiny…
