These Halloween Hot Dog Spiders are a perfect spooky bite for kids and adults alike! Only 3 ingredients, these hot dog crescent rolls are sure to be a hit at your next Halloween gathering!

Ingredients

  • 12 hot dogs (2 packs) (I recommend Applegate hot dogs)
  • 1 8 oz can refrigerated crescent rolls (I recommend Annie's crescent rolls)
  • 1 jar capers (You'll need about 48 capers )

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Drain the capers and set aside on a paper towel to remove excess moisture. (optional) Line the baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Cut off the ends of the hot dogs. Then cut hot dogs in half crosswise. (each hot dog will make 2 "spiders")Keeping the middle intact, make 3 slits on both ends of the hot dogs so that there are 4 "spider legs" per side. (see above for photo)

  3. 3

    Once the hot dogs have been cut, take out the crescent rolls. Cut into strips about 1 inch wide and 2-3 inches long. Wrap one piece of dough around the middle of each hot dog piece, pinching to seal. Place on the baking sheet seam side down then press on 2 capers as "eyes".

  4. 4

    Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!
