Main Ingredients
- 8 count hot dogs
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry
- ketchup for dipping
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 8 strips, each approximately 1 inch wide.
- Take each hot dog and make a small incision at one end to create a "fingernail" effect; also make a few small cuts along the hot dog to simulate knuckles.
- Wrap one strip of pastry around each hot dog, starting from the "fingernail" end, leaving a small gap for the nail.
- Place the wrapped hot dog fingers on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are slightly spaced apart.
Baking
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the hot dog fingers from the oven and carefully dab a small amount of ketchup on the "fingernail" area for a gruesome effect.
Notes
Serve these creepy hot dog fingers warm with extra ketchup for dipping. They are sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering! For an even scarier look, you can use green or black food coloring to dye some of the pastry dough before wrapping.
