Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 pieces Cocktail sausages (mini hot dogs)
- 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (optional for dipping)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 narrow strips to create 18 strips total.
Cut the green bell pepper into thin slivers resembling toenail shapes. Aim for 18 small pieces that will fit on the ends of the cocktail sausages.
Wrap one strip of crescent roll dough around each cocktail sausage, leaving one end of the sausage slightly exposed to act as the 'toe tip.'
Press one bell pepper 'toenail' onto the exposed end of each sausage, making sure it sticks well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the crescent roll dough with the egg wash for a golden and shiny finish after baking.
Place the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and puffed.
Allow the Monster Toes to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with ketchup for dipping (optional) to add to the spooky vibe.
