Fun Mummy Hot Dogs
These spooky mummy hot dogs are a quick and festive dinner idea that kids absolutely love for Halloween.
recipesbynani.comMummy hot dogs are the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit without spending hours in the kitchen. They are simple to assemble and look so cute sitting on a platter, making them a great meal to serve before the neighborhood trick or treating begins.
My favorite thing about this recipe is how much fun the kids have helping with the wrapping. You do not need to worry about perfection, as the messy bandage look is exactly what makes them look like real little mummies.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 hot dogs
- 16 candy eyes, optional
- Mustard or ketchup for decorating
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- 2
Unroll the crescent dough, pinch all the seams together, and use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into thin strips about a quarter inch wide.
- 3
Take each hot dog and wrap the dough strips around it, crossing the pieces over each other to look like bandages while remembering to leave a small gap near the top for the eyes.
- 4
Place the wrapped hot dogs on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is a nice golden brown.
- 5
Once slightly cooled, add two dots of mustard or ketchup for the eyes, or use a tiny dab of sauce to help stick on candy eyes.
💡 Tips
You can prepare these mummies a few hours ahead of time and keep them in the fridge until you are ready to bake. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat them in the oven, just remember to add fresh eyes after warming them up.
