Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 sheet refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 16 candy eyes
- 4 slices American cheese (optional)
For Serving
- Ketchup
- Mustard
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and pinch the seams together to create one large solid sheet. Then, cut this dough into thin ¼-inch strips using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
- Assemble Mummies: If using cheese, place half a slice under each hot dog. Wrap the dough strips around each hot dog to create a mummy-like appearance, leaving a small gap at the top where the eyes will go.
- Bake: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed up and golden brown.
- Add Eyes: Allow the mummy hot dogs to cool slightly for a few minutes. Then, press the candy eyes onto the exposed dough area at the top using a tiny dab of ketchup or mustard to help them stick.
- Serve: Serve the mummy hot dogs warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard for a delicious Halloween themed snack.
Notes
- For a spicier twist, try using spicy or flavored hot dogs instead of regular ones.
- If you can’t find candy eyes, small dots of mustard or ketchup can be used to make eyes.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving to save time.
- Use gluten-free crescent dough if you need to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Keep an eye on baking time as ovens can vary; the dough should be golden but not burnt.
