Hotdog Biscuit Sandwiches

How cute!! These Halloweenie Pockets are a twist on crescent dogs.  We chopped up hot dogs, tossed them in BBQ sauce, topped it all with cheese and stuffed it inside a jack-o-lantern biscuit pocket.

This idea came from Chicken Legs, which is odd because he hates hot dogs. I wasn’t sure he would eat them, but he did and he loved them. I have to admit, they were really good. We both went back for seconds!

These are so much fun to make and eat!  They are the perfect lunch, snack or dinner for your little ghosts and goblins this Halloweenie!

How to Make Halloweenie Pockets

These Halloween treats are very easy to make. Chop up some hot dogs and toss them with BBQ sauce. Separate a can of refrigerated biscuits and split each biscuit into two rounds. Top one layer with some BBQ hot dog and half a slice of American cheese. Using a sharp knife, cut out jack-o-lantern faces from the remaining biscuit layer; place over hot dog mixture, and pinch edges to seal tightly. Roll scraps from face cut-outs and use as the stem. Repeat with remaining biscuits and bake.

  • Can use any hot dogs you prefer – regular, all-beef, turkey, or chicken.
  • I used American cheese because it melts the best. Feel free to swap it out for your favorite cheese.
  • My favorite store-bought BBQ sauces are Sweet Baby Rays and Stubbs.
  • Can Halloweenie Pockets be made in advance? You can assemble the biscuits ahead of time and refrigerate a few hours before baking.
  • Can Halloweenie Pockets be frozen? Yes! You can bake the biscuits and freeze them for a quick meal later.

  1. I made these for my two boys along with some green macaroni oozing out of the mouth. They loved it! Such a cute idea!

  2. OMGosh! These are too funny! I love how some of the filling is oozing out of that one pumpkins mouth! So gross and fun all at the same time.
    I love this idea Stephanie! Perfect for Halloween night before or after trick-or-treating!

  3. How adorable. I will make these on Halloween before we head out for some goodies. I will steal credit and be called "Best. Mom. EVAH!" 😉

    I just found this site on Sunday and have already made three things (skillet bread, pot roast that uses three packets and the crack potatoes). My family is in heaven and my freezer has pot roast and potatoes for another meal. Thanks very much for all the hard work you put into the site and the recipes.

  4. So fun! I'm going to make these asap. I think they would be super tasty with a modified chicken pot pie filling too!

  5. These are so cute! I'm super impressed that Chicken Legs came up with them. 🙂 I just might have to try these! It would be fun to try different fillings, too.

    My husband surprises me with what he likes all the time, too…

  6. Well those fellows will fool you all the time.

    I've been eating cheese grits for years. My hubby would not touch them.

    Then we go to New Orleans a couple of weeks ago and get cheese grits and shrimp. A couple of days ago I fixed cheese grits and he devours some…..
