CRESCENT JALAPEñO HOT DOG MUMMIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F
• Mix cream cheese, shredded cheese and dry seasonings until blended; spoon into pepper halves.
• Cut wieners crosswise in half, then cut each half into 4 lengthwise strips. Place over stuffed peppers.
• Unroll crescent dough onto lightly floured cutting board; press into 12x8-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations and seams together to seal. Cut crosswise into 16 (1/2-inch-wide) strips.
• Wrap 1 dough strip around each stuffed pepper half; place, filled sides up, on parchment-covered baking sheet.
• Whisk egg and water until blended; brush onto dough. Gently press 2 olive slices into dough on each stuffed pepper for the mummy's eyes.
• Bake 15 min. or until golden brown.

HOT DOG MUMMIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Open the crescent dough tube and unroll the dough onto a work surface. Pinch together the seams to create a rectangle. Cut the dough lengthwise into 8 long strips.
• Take 1 hot dog and 1 strip of the dough and wind the dough around the hot dog while pulling gently to stretch the dough. Crisscross the dough every so often so it looks like mummy wrappings. Near the end of the hot dog, leave a narrow strip of hot dog exposed so you can add eyes after baking. Place the wrapped dog on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough and hot dogs. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• While hot dogs bake, use the narrow end of a wide piping tip to punch out 16 small rounds of cheese for the mummies' eyes.
• Remove the hot dogs from oven. Using a toothpick, smear some ketchup on one side of each cheese round and "glue" it to the open area of the hot dog to create 2 eyes. Using the same toothpick, put a dab of ketchup or mustard in the center of each eye to create a pupil.
