Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll dough; separate at perforations into 12 breadsticks. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each breadstick in half crosswise, making 24 pieces.
2 Wrap each piece of dough around center of each sausage, pinching to seal and leaving each end of sausage showing. Place seam side down and 1/2 inch apart on ungreased large cookie sheet.
3 Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; place on serving plate or tray. Cool 2 minutes.
4 Insert shoestring potatoes into baked dough to resemble legs and antennae. Decorate "bugs" with dots or stripes of ketchup.

Expert Tips

To make decorating easier, spoon the ketchup, barbecue sauce and mustard into separate small food-storage plastic bags. Seal the bags and cut a tiny hole in one bottom corner of each bag. Squeeze the bags to decorate the "bugs."

What a crowd pleaser. Mix this snack with Mummies in a blanket and some dirt pudding with gummy worms. You sure will not have left overs! Yum! Yum!

I made these for my company Halloween pot luck. These bugs went faster than any other dish. Everyone loved them. My only disappointment was that I made them the night before and in the morning the shoe string potatoes were soft and limp. I would recommend putting that on right before serving if making in advanced. For the ones that broke, I replaced with pretzel sticks,which also worked good.
