Print Recipe

Quick and easy mummy hot dogs made with crescent roll strips wrapped around hot dogs, baked until golden, and topped with candy eyes. Perfect for Halloween parties, movie nights, or a fun family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 standard size hot dogs
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 16 candy eyes (2 per mummy)
  • Mustard or ketchup for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a cutting board. If using perforated sheets, press the seams together gently to create one solid sheet.
  3. Slice the dough into thin strips about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. You should get about 8 to 10 strips per sheet.
  4. Wrap each hot dog: take one strip of dough and wrap it around a hot dog at a slight angle, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes. Overlap the dough slightly as you go. Leave about an inch of hot dog exposed at the top and a little at the bottom.
  5. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Attach the candy eyes: while the mummy dogs are still warm, press two candy eyes onto the exposed hot dog at the top. If needed, use a tiny dab of mustard or ketchup to help them stick.
  9. Serve immediately with mustard and ketchup for dipping.

Notes

Keep the dough cold for easier handling. Don’t over-wrap; 2-3 wraps is perfect. Leave a gap at the top for the eyes. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup. Can be made ahead: wrap up to a few hours ahead and refrigerate, then bake when ready. For cheesy version, stuff a thin strip of cheese inside the hot dog before wrapping.
