Mummy Hot Dogs

Makes 8 mummies
 8 hot dogs (regular or jumbo size)
 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
 1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for texture)
 Ketchup and/or mustard (for eyes and dipping)
Prep the hot dogs
1

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Pat hot dogs dry with a paper towel (helps dough stick better).

Wrap the bandages
2

  1. Unroll crescent roll dough and cut into thin strips (about ¼ inch wide).

  2. Starting at one end of a hot dog, wrap strips around it in overlapping layers, leaving a small gap near the top for the mummy’s “face.”

  3. Repeat with all hot dogs.

  4. Place wrapped hot dogs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake
3

  1. Brush lightly with beaten egg for shine (optional).

  2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.

  3. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Add the spooky details

  1. Using a toothpick or squeeze bottle, dot ketchup or mustard into the exposed “face” area to make two eyes.

  2. Serve immediately with extra ketchup or mustard for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

Tips & Variations
6

  • Cheesy mummies: Place a thin slice of cheese under the dough before wrapping.

  • Spooky minis: Use cocktail sausages (“Lil’ Smokies”) for bite-sized mummies.

  • Gluten-free: Substitute gluten-free puff pastry dough.

  • Extra creepy: Use edible candy eyes instead of ketchup dots for more realism.
