Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare a baking sheet with non-stick spray or parchment paper and set aside.
Lay out crescent dough. If using roll, pinch the seams together to form a single sheet.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into long strips.
Place hotdogs on a clean surface, with a piece of cheese under each, if desired. Wrap strips of crescent dough around each hot dog. Note: If you are making these with cheese, be sure to wrap well using enough crescent dough to keep the cheese from oozing out. If you are making these without cheese, you can wrap with the crescent dough more sparingly.
Place wrapped hot dogs on baking sheet and bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the dough turns light golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool fully.
Use a small dot of decorating gel to stick the candy eyes on the hot dogs.
Serve with ketchup or mustard for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
Store leftover crescent dogs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer!
