I found this recipe on a blog called Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons (see link below). Cute idea for the 4th of July. They turned out great and my 4 year old loved them. I served these with fresh fruit and chips.

You'll Need:
- hot dogs
- crescent rolls
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. water
- blue food coloring
- wooden skewers
- any white block cheese (I used monterey jack)
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Take the crescent rolls out of the package and unroll them. Cut each roll into 3 strips and cut off the pointed ends.
- Take the strips and wrap around the hot dog. Spread the wrapped dough with the egg wash. Squeeze 4 to 5 drops of blue food coloring in a small bowl. Brush the food coloring on the top half of the crescent so you have strips of red (hot dog), white (crescent), and blue (food colored crescent). I followed these directions, but I think next time I'd do the egg wash and food coloring prior to wrapping the crescent strips around the hot dog. Seems like it'd be easier that way.
- Place on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 8 minutes or until lightly tan in color.
- Push the wooden skewer in the middle of the hot dog and poke it through the top. Cut thick slices of your block cheese and then cut out stars with a star cookie cutter. Didn't have one, so I used a knife and did it free hand. Poke the stars on the top of the stick.
