Ingredients You Need

To make these fun Mummy Hot Dogs, you’ll need just a few basic ingredients:

• Hot dogs (beef, chicken, or turkey).
• Crescent roll dough (store-bought works perfectly).
• Candy eyes (or substitute with mustard or ketchup for eyes).
• Optional: cheese slices for added flavor.

These simple ingredients come together to make a fun and delicious Halloween treat. You can also get creative with the hot dog types, using cocktail sausages for bite-sized versions.

How to Make Mummy Dogs

Making Hot Dogs is easy and fun! Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Cut the crescent dough into thin strips.
3. Wrap the dough around each hot dog, leaving small gaps for the eyes.
4. Place the mummies on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
5. Once cooled slightly, add candy eyes or dab mustard to create the mummy faces.
6. Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces.

For an even more exciting twist, try adding cheese under the dough before wrapping. This extra step adds a deliciously gooey element to each bite.

Variations and Customizations

One of the best things about Mummy Dogs is their versatility! You can easily tweak the recipe to suit different tastes:

• Cheesy Mummies: Add a slice of cheese between the dough and the hot dog for extra richness.
• Mini Mummies: Use cocktail sausages to create smaller, bite-sized versions—perfect for parties.
• Vegetarian Options: Swap traditional hot dogs with plant-based alternatives for a veggie-friendly twist.

• Green Guacamole: A fun, vibrant dip that adds a pop of color to your Halloween spread.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have leftover Mummy Hot Dogs, don’t worry! They store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 325°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through. You can also freeze the uncooked mummies to bake at a later time—just assemble them, freeze on a baking sheet, and then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
