Ingredients

8 hot dogs

1 can of crescent roll dough

Mustard or ketchup for eyes

Optional: shredded cheese for filling

1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk)

1 cup mini pretzel sticks

½ cup peanut butter

1 cup candy eyes (variety of sizes)

Optional: crushed nuts for extra crunch

1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)

1 banana

½ cup pineapple chunks

1 cup coconut water (or regular water)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for extra magic)

Optional: a few drops of green food coloring (for effect)

1 box red velvet cake mix

3 large eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup water

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese frosting

Red food coloring (for added color)

Optional: Halloween-themed sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Cut it into thin strips (about ½ inch wide).

Take each hot dog and wrap the strips of dough around it, leaving a small gap for the “face” to be visible. Wrap haphazardly to create a mummy effect.

Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Use a tiny dollop of mustard or ketchup to create eyes on each mummy. If desired, sprinkle some cheese inside the hot dog before wrapping it.

Serve warm for a spooky treat!

Creepy Crawler Chocolate Bugs 🐞🍫

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.

Dip each pretzel stick into the melted chocolate until fully coated, then place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle crushed nuts over the coated pretzels (if using) and add 2-3 candy eyes to each one to mimic bugs.

Allow the chocolate-covered pretzels to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes until firm.

Once solidified, arrange the “bugs” on a serving platter for an eerie effect.

Witch's Potion Green Smoothie 🧙‍♀️🥤

Place the spinach, banana, pineapple, coconut water, chia seeds, and food coloring (if using) into a blender.

Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more coconut water until you reach your desired consistency.

Pour the green smoothie into clear cups to showcase its eerie color.

Optionally, garnish with fun straws or a spooky seal (such as a piece of haunted fruit).

Blood Red Velvet Cupcakes 🧁❤️

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Add a few drops of red food coloring to enhance the color if desired and mix well.

Pour the batter into the lined cupcake pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

Once cooled, frost each cupcake with cream cheese frosting and add Halloween-themed sprinkles on top for the finishing touch!
