Bloody Toe Pigs in the Blanket
Ingredients:

Directions:

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. On floured work surface, unroll a pie crust. Using a pizza wheel, cut crust into 3⁄8-in. strips.
Working with 1 frank at a time, wrap one-half to two-thirds of the cocktail frank with a dough strip (like a bandage), cutting the dough to fit. Repeat with remaining franks. Arrange on prepared baking sheet.
Using a small paring knife, make a horizontal slit on the unwrapped end of each frank, and insert an almond slice into the slit to resemble a toenail. Brush dough bandages with egg wash.
Bake 10 minutes, or until pastry is light golden brown. Serve immediately with ketchup.

Crack shells and carefully peel them under cool running water.
Halve eggs lengthwise. Spoon out yolks into a small bowl and place whites on a serving platter. Using a fork, mash yolks, then stir in mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon. dill and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon mixture evenly among egg whites and smooth top.
Refrigerate for several hours.
Carefully dust paprika all over the yolk mixture, completely covering yolk. Use a sharp paring knife to make ridges down the paprika-dusted yolk to look like a pumpkin.
Place chive above egg mixture to look like a stem and serve.

Frankenstein Toast
Ingredients and Directions:

Mummy Hot Dogs

Ingredients:

Directions:

Unfold/unroll the puff pastry. Cut it into strips (1 thicker + 2 thinner per hot dog). Pat dry each hot dog with a paper kitchen towel.
Wrap the thicker puff pastry piece around the hot dog, making sure to leave a gap for the eyes. Repeat the same with the thin strips.
When done, place them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking tray in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Bake them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and light brown.
Let them cool slightly before putting the eyes on. To do this, just put a little mayo/ketchup/mustard on the back side of the eye and stick to the hot dog.
Serve on their own or with a dip of your choice.

Cooking Tip:

Use any hot dog brand you like as long as they are small in size (About 4-inch/11 cm or smaller).
The baking time may vary slightly - depending on the thickness of the puff pastry and also how accurate your oven is. When the pastry is puffed and its surface is lightly brown, they are ready to be taken out.
