Notes
Getting the finger details just right can make all the difference. Shape the hot dogs carefully for the best effect.
If you need to prepare these ahead of time, keep them warm in the oven.
The “blood” ketchup can be adjusted for more or less spookiness by mixing in some hot sauce for a kick.
Keep an eye on those baking times! The dough should be perfectly golden and flaky.
Make sure to involve kids or friends in the preparation for added fun and creativity. 🍽️
