Instructions:

-
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.

Add Marshmallows:
- In the last 5 minutes of baking, add mini marshmallows to the top of each hot dog for that pinecone look.
- Serve:
- Let cool slightly, then serve warm. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
