Rare is the day where I feel like an over achieving parent when I feed my kids hot dogs and corn dogs. But add a little wrapped croissant dough and a couple mustard eyes, and all of a sudden this mom is feeling pretty good about her holiday spirit. I just throw a couple raw hotdogs on the table and the kids do the rest. It’s amazing how a little processed meat and butter loaded dough can bring the Halloween party to life. And unlike the deviled egg eyeballs that kids just looked at totally grossed out, these mummies will be the first non sweet thing eaten at the table. Nothing like a corndog to soak up all that sugar in those Oreo bats and worms in dirt ……
