one of the biggest hits of this 
Manhattan Halloween Party
...adorable all beef hot dogs enrobed in pastry
and resting in a coffin filled with chocolate pebbles.

....Hallo-weenie  Mummies - 

All beef kosher hot dogs wrapped in 
pastry “shroud” with mustard dotted eyes  

plenty of options for how to make these easy treats available on the internet, - we simply cut strips from refrigerated crescent rolls and wrapped around the all beef kosher hot dogs leaving a space for the face.  Bake at 350 F for 12-15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.   Can substitute kielbasa, pre-cooked Italian sausage, chicken or turkey or vegetarian franks with equal results.  Can also use other bread products and even strips of filo dough to wrap the Hallo-weenie Mummies.

there are articles all over the web about how to put

martha's site offers especially the shimmerly spray painted
silver pumpkins - have used this technique on artichokes
and what a great idea to spray the pumpkins silver for
a very up-market elegant look

in 1983) - and as always, Martha takes decorating pumpkins to a New Level
