Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs (1 package)
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough (use sheets if available)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking once the mummy dogs are assembled.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and, if using sheets, separate into rectangles. Cut the dough into thin strips approximately 1/4 inch wide to resemble mummy bandages.
- Wrap the Hot Dogs: Take each hot dog and wrap the dough strips around it diagonally, leaving small gaps to create the mummy effect. Make sure to cover most of the hot dog but leave room to add eyes later.
- Bake the Mummy Dogs: Place the wrapped hot dogs on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Eyes (Optional): Once baked and slightly cooled, use small dots of mustard or ketchup to create eyes on the mummies for a spooky finish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm as a fun Halloween appetizer or snack. These mummy dogs pair perfectly with dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or cheese sauce.
Notes
- You can use regular crescent roll triangles if sheets are not available, just cut into thinner strips for wrapping.
- Adding small dots of mustard or ketchup after baking creates cute mummy eyes.
- For a crispier texture, you can brush the dough with a little melted butter before baking.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Vegetarian hot dogs can be used to make a vegetarian version of this recipe.
