How to Make Octopus Hot Dogs

  1. Boil the hot dogs according to package directions. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Cut each hot dog lengthwise about ¾ of the way down, creating slits to form the octopus 'legs'.
  3. Carefully spread the legs out to resemble an octopus.
  4. Using a toothpick, insert a slice of cheese into the top of each hot dog for the 'eyes'.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your adorable octopus hot dogs!
  6. Optional: Add a small piece of sliced olive for the pupil of the eye.
