Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls?

Yes, puff pastry works well and gives a flakier texture. Just cut into strips the same way and bake until golden.

How do I make these vegetarian or vegan?

Use plant-based hot dogs and dairy-free pastry dough. For the eyes, mustard or olives are great vegan-friendly choices.

Can I freeze Mummy Hot Dogs?

Absolutely. Bake them first, let them cool, then freeze in a single layer. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

What dipping sauces go best with Mummy Hot Dogs?

Ketchup and mustard are classics, but ranch, cheese sauce, or barbecue sauce make fun alternatives.

How long do Mummy Hot Dogs stay fresh?

They’re best eaten the day they’re baked, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated in the oven.

Can I make mini versions for parties?

Yes, cocktail sausages wrapped in dough make perfect bite-sized mummies that guests can grab and go.

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Dough
• Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form one large sheet.
• Slice the dough into thin strips about ¼ inch wide.
👉 Pro Tip: Use a pizza cutter for quick, even strips.

2️⃣ Wrap the Hot Dogs
• Take one hot dog and wrap the dough strips around it, leaving a small gap at the top for the “face.”
• Repeat until all hot dogs are wrapped.
👉 Pro Tip: Overlap strips slightly for a better mummy bandage effect.

3️⃣ Bake Until Golden
• Place wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.

4️⃣ Add the Eyes
• Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes.
• Dot mustard, ketchup, or mayo for eyes, or press in candy eyes for extra fun.

5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy
• Arrange mummy hot dogs on a platter with dipping sauces like ketchup “blood” or mustard “slime.”
• Serve warm as a spooky appetizer or party snack.

👉 Pro Tip: Serve with a side of Monster Munch Trail Mix for a complete Halloween party platter.

Notes

For mini mummies, use cocktail sausages instead of full-sized hot dogs.
Vegan version: plant-based hot dogs + dairy-free pastry dough.
If dough unravels during baking, press ends firmly or use a light egg wash.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep them crisp.
