Method
 

Mummy Dogs
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips (½ inch wide). Wrap each hot dog in the dough strips, leaving gaps for eyes.
  3. Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Spiderweb Dip
  1. In a shallow dish, spread a thick layer of your dip, covering the base.
  2. Using a piping bag, create concentric circles with sour cream or mayonnaise, mimicking a spiderweb.
  3. Drag lines from the center to the edge with a toothpick to form a spiderweb pattern.
Witch’s Finger Pretzels
  1. Melt green candy melts and dip each pretzel rod until fully coated, letting excess drip off.
  2. Press an almond onto the tip of each pretzel rod to resemble a fingernail.
Healthy Options
  1. Draw fun faces on oranges with a food-safe marker. For Frozen Ghosts, dip banana halves in melted white chocolate and freeze until set.
Veggie Skeleton
  1. Arrange cut vegetables into a skeleton shape on a platter, using a bowl of dip as the head.
No-Bake Eye Balls
  1. Shape cheese into small balls, roll in a coating, and top with olive slices to create eyeballs.
