one 12-ounce package mini cocktail franks
black poppyseeds

Preheat overn to 375

Separate the biscuits and cut each in half. Pull each half into an oblong shape to resemble a hot dog bun.

Place the dough on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While still warm brush with oliveoil and sprinkle with poppyseeds.

Cool, then split  in half lengthwise, being careful not to slice all the way through.

In a microwave, heat the cocktail franks; place one in each bun. Serve with ketchup, mustard, relish, or giardiniera. enjoy! ♥

I put the peanuts into cellaphane bags, and stapled them , I attached a cute baseball wooden decal, they have them at Michaels craft stores.. supercute right?
