Mummy Hot Dogs
It’s Halloween time and we have the perfect Halloween dinner or fun addition to your Halloween Party. These Mummy Hot Dogs start with a hot dog then are wrapped in a crescent roll and finished off with candy eyes to create a mummy!
Themed food for holidays is so much fun, but it can also be so much work and stressful! That’s why I love these cute, adorable Mummy Hot Dogs. Super easy, kid friendly and they bring a smile to everyone’s faces means they are a big win in my book.
They are neither hard to make or stressful. Plus, the kids can help make them they are so easy!
Perfect for a fun Halloween dinner before trick or treating or a great addition to any Halloween party.
Ingredients Needed
- Crescent rolls – You could also use a crescent roll sheet and cut it into four rectangles then strips. You wouldn’t have to seal the perforations of the crescent rolls together.
- Hot dogs – Grab your favorite kind!
- Mustard or ketchup – You’ll need to attach the candy eyes with a dot of either of these. Plus, create a fun dipping bowl with a base of ketchup and spider web of mustard.
- Edible Candy eyes – If you don’t have candy eye balls just use mustard or ketchup dots to create the look of eyes!
How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs
Prep – Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut Crescent Rolls – Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate at perforations to create 4 rectangles. Press the perforations in each rectangle to seal. With a knife cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces of dough. You will have a total of 40 pieces when you are done.
Make the Mummies – Wrap 4 pieces of sliced dough around each hot dog to look like “bandages”, stretching the dough slightly to fit the hot dogs. Leave some space so you can see the hot dog. On each hot dog, about ½ inch from one end separate the dough bandages to create space to put the candy eyeballs after baking. Remember the dough will slightly puff up when baked so make sure there’s some room.
Bake – Place each wrapped hot dog on an ungreased large cookie sheet. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is lightly golden brown and hot dogs warmed through.
Finish and serve – Remove from the oven. Place two dots of mustard or ketchup where you created the space for the candy eyeballs. Then place candy eyeballs on top of the mustard or ketchup. Serve immediately.
Tip: Make a dipping bowl out of ketchup and mustard! First fill it with ketchup then create a spider web out of mustard for a fun addition!
