Silly Snake Dogs
Wrap a refrigerated breadstick around a hot dog for the silliest supper around – the kids will love it!
Prep Time 25 min | 6 Ingredients | Total Time 45 min | Servings 6
Ingredients
1 (11-oz.) can Pillsbury® Refrigerated Breadsticks
6 hot dogs with cheese
12 dried currants
1/2 teaspoon sharp Cheddar cold pack cheese food (from 8-oz. container)
Tiny squares of American cheese
Tiny strips of red bell pepper
Directions
Heat oven to 375°F.
Remove breadsticks from can; do not unroll. Separate into 6 coils at perforations.
To make each snake, unroll 1 coil; press to seal center perforation, making 1 long breadstick. Loosely wrap long breadstick around 1 hot dog, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of dough at each end of hot dog. Place seam side down on non-greased cookie sheet. Pinch dough at one end into rounded point to form “head” of snake. Repeat with remaining breadsticks and hot dogs.
Cut 12 (3-inch) squares of foil; loosely shape each into small ball. Cut 6 (2-inch) squares of foil; shape each into tiny ball. Place 1 small ball at each end of dough-wrapped hot dogs. Prop “heads” and “tails” up on balls so they will stand up when baked. Cut 1/2-inch slit in tip of each “head” to form mouth. Prop each “mouth” open with tiny ball of foil.
Bake at 375°F. for 14 to 17 minutes or until deep golden brown.
Remove “snakes” from cookie sheet; remove foil balls. On each “head,” attach tiny squares of American cheese and currants with cold pack cheese to make eyes. Attach bell pepper in “mouth” to make tongue.
