If you need a delicious bite for your next Halloween party, look no further than these creepy Halloween Hotdogs.
All you need is store-bought pizza dough (you can also use rolled puff pastry) and a few of your favorite sausages. Shape the dough into spiders, top with edible eyes, and serve them with any dip you like.
These rolls are quick to make and a great alternative to mummy sausage rolls. Surprise your kids and stick them in their lunchbox, or serve them as a tasty snack before they head off trick or treating.
Ingredients for Halloween Hotdogs
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Sausages: I prefer pre-cooked Frankfurter pork sausages, but you can use any you like.
- Pizza dough: Storebought and ideally rectangular.
- Egg: For the egg wash.
- Candy eyes: Available in most large supermarkets. Top onto the spider rolls after baking. Use water, honey, or edible glue to get the eyes to stick.
Recipe Tip
Add more candy eyes for an even spookier roll (most spiders have eight eyes), or use an edible marker instead.
