A quick and fun Halloween snack featuring hot dogs wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough to look like mummies. Perfect for last-minute parties and kid-friendly gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Hot dogs (beef, pork, chicken, vegetarian, or plant-based)
  • 1 standard 8-ounce tube (about 226 grams) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons (about 28 grams) melted butter
  • Mustard or ketchup for decorating eyes (optional)
  • Pinch of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Italian herbs (optional)
  • Small strips or shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and press down the seams gently to seal them together.
  3. Cut the dough into thin strips about 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  4. If using cheese, lay a small strip of cheese along each hot dog before wrapping.
  5. Wrap each hot dog with the crescent dough strips, leaving gaps to create a mummy look. Wrap at a slight angle and not too tightly.
  6. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  7. Brush melted butter over each mummy and sprinkle optional seasonings if desired.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
  10. Add eyes with mustard or ketchup using a toothpick or tip of a knife.
  11. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep crescent dough chilled until ready to use to prevent stickiness. Brush melted butter before baking for better browning and crispiness. Space mummies apart on baking sheet to avoid sogginess. For extra crispness, flip halfway through baking (optional). Assemble ahead and refrigerate covered, then bake before serving for best results. Avoid microwave reheating to keep dough crispy.
