How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs (Step-by-Step)

Follow these simple steps for the perfect Halloween snack:

Step 1: Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Wrap

Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into thin strips (about ¼ inch wide).
Wrap each hot dog with dough strips, leaving a space for the eyes. Don’t worry if it looks uneven. That’s what makes it spooky!

Step 3: Bake

Place wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown.

Step 4: Add Eyes

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Add two candy eyes to each mummy using a small dot of mustard or ketchup to stick them.

And that’s it — your mummies are ready to serve!

Tips for Perfect Mummy Hot Dogs

Space out your wraps: Don’t cover the whole hot dog; you want gaps between the dough for that “mummy” look.
Cool before decorating: Eyes will slide off if the dough is too hot.
Reheat in the oven: Keeps them crispy (avoid the microwave).
Serve with dips: Ketchup, mustard, or spicy mayo all work we

Use puff pastry for an extra flaky wrap.
Add cheese slices inside before wrapping for gooey mummies.
