This calls for use of the oven, so Mom or Dad will have to help. Fun to make and even more fun to eat!

Silly Snake Munches

What You Need:

1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
4 (11 oz.) cans refrigerated breadsticks
2 pkg. cheese smoky links or regular hot dogs
1 t of processed cheese spread
48 small raisins

How to Make It:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut 24 small pieces of red bell pepper to look like a tongue.
Remove the breadstick dough from the cans but do not unroll.
Separate each one of the breadstick dough into 6 pieces.
Unroll 1 roll of the dough and press to seal the center perforation.
Loosely wrap the dough around a smoky link leaving about 1 1/2 in. dough extending from each end. Make one end slightly flattened, and the other end pointy, to look like the head and tail of a snake.
Continue until all the smoky links have been wrapped.
Place the wrapped smoky links on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Form small balls of foil and place under the "heads" so that they are raised while baking.
Make a small slit in the 'head' to form a mouth.
Bake 15 minutes or until the dough is a golden brown.
Place the baked snakes on a platter.
Place a tiny amount of the cheese spread onto the head of each snake where the eyes and tongue would be placed.
Place two raisins on each snake for the eyes and a piece of bell pepper on each one for the tongue.

Makes 24 servings

Kids love these little sneaky snakes. Regular hot dogs may be used in place of the smoky links if you prefer. Serve with dipping sauces.
