Bandaged Fingers Halloween Hot Dogs

Bandaged Fingers Halloween Hot Dogs – Creepy looking hot dogs cut into fingers, wrapped in delicious crescent rolls and covered in ketchup.

I love Halloween!  Like LOVE.  I love Christmas as much as the next person, but Halloween is pure fun.  Decorations, fun costumes, begging for candy, I mean life can’t get any better.

How to make hot dogs look like bandaged fingers for Halloween?

These are really easy to make. The first time I made them, my then 4-year got in on the action.  

I cut the nail beds with a paring knife by making a box at the top and side of one end. Once the box was formed, I slipped the knife under the casing to slice it away from the meat. (See notes on how to use the excess ‘nail bed’ casings).

If you want, you can slice notches into the hot dogs giving the appearance of knuckles. They may or may not show through once wrapped and baked. I sliced some ‘just in case.’

The easiest way to make the bandage strips is to use a pizza cutter. Open the package, lay the dough out flat and roll away.

My daughter had fun adding ketchup and helped with wrapping them up. There’s no need to be overly precise when wrapping them up, we want them to have a haphazard look once done.

I love hotdogs, so making Bandaged Fingers Halloween Hot Dogs was just too much to pass up, even if they are a bit creepy.

These would be great for dinner right before your kiddos head out to trick or treating or if you’ve got a Halloween party to host/attend. Bandaged Fingers Halloween Hot Dogs are destined to freak out everyone.
