Made for Halloween & used the Trader Joe's veggie sticks for "legs" & served with the Curried Ketchup & they were both well liked! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

I made these for dinner tonight. They were really cute! And they tasted good. I did pull my bread out tad and was able to cut each dough strip in three which gave me 36 bugs because I was feeding some big eaters. The dough covered the smokies well. I will make these again for birthday parties. Than you for sharing.
