    Star Recipe of the Month:

    INGREDIENTS

    1 11-ounce can of refrigeratorsbreadsticks

    1 12-pack of hot dogs

    Yellow Mustard

    DIRECTIONS

    1. For each mummy, separate one

    breadstick from the roll and use

    kitchen shears or a knife to slice it

    in half lengthwise to create two

    thinner strips.

    2. Wrap one strip at a time snugly around

    the hot dog. Depending on the size ofthe hot dog, you may not need all of

    both strips. Leave about 1/2 inch of

    hot dog exposed for the face area and

    continue wrapping the top of the

    hot dog.

    3. Bake the mummies on a cookie sheet

    at 350 for 15 to 18 minutes or

    until the breadstick wrapping is

    golden brown.

    4. Remove the mummies from the oven

    and cool them for 5 minutes. Add

    yellow mustard eyes just before

    serving. Makes 12 mummies.
