Hidden Hot Dogs
1 package (8 oz) crescent rolls
1 package (8) hot dogs
Ketchup
Mustard

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Open the package of rolls and separate the little triangles, flatten each triangle a little with your hands. Open the hot dogs and wrap each one in a flattened roll - pinch the dough together so that each hot dog stays wrapped. Put the dough wrapped hot dogs on a baking pan - make sure that they don't touch each other. Bake until the dough puffs up and turns a light golden brown - about 10 minutes. Serve the dough dogs with ketchup and mustard.
