Ingredients
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or crescent dough sheet)
8 beef or turkey hot dogs
16 candy eyes (or dots of mustard or ketchup for eyes)
Optional: ketchup, mustard, or dipping sauce for serving
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and cut into thin strips (about ¼ inch wide).
- Wrap each hot dog with 2–3 strips of dough, leaving a small space for the “face.” Criss-cross for a mummy effect.
- Place the wrapped dogs on the baking sheet and bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden and cooked through.
- Remove from oven, cool slightly, and add candy eyes with a dot of mustard or mayo. Serve warm with your favourite dip.
Notes
- Let kids help – Let little ones wrap the dough and place the eyes — they’ll love it!
Use a dipping bar – Serve with ketchup, mustard, BBQ, or ranch in little cauldrons or Halloween cups.
Make ahead – Assemble and refrigerate unbaked mummy dogs for up to 24 hours before baking.
