A Spooky Spin on a Classic
If your kids are fans of pigs in a blanket, wait until they meet these Halloween Mummy Dogs! Hot dogs get wrapped up in buttery crescent roll “bandages,” baked until golden, and then topped with candy eyes for just the right mix of silly and spooky. Mummy dogs are sure to be a hit with everyone.
They’re perfect for Halloween parties, school celebrations, or even a quick pre-trick-or-treat dinner. And the best part? Kids can help make them! Wrapping their own little “mummies” is half the fun (and keeps little hands busy while you prep for the big night).
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 package hot dogs (8 full-size or about 16 mini hot dogs)
- 1 can crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
- Honey or mustard (to stick the eyes on)
- Candy eyes (or small dots of ketchup/mustard for an edible-only version)
How to Make Halloween Mummy Dogs
- Preheat the Oven – Heat to 375°F (or follow the crescent roll package directions). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the Dough – Unroll the crescent dough and cut into thin strips, about ¼-inch wide.
- Wrap the Mummies – Wrap each hot dog with the dough strips, criss-crossing so they look like bandages. Be sure to leave a small space near the top for eyes. Create your own delicious mummy dogs to add a playful touch to the treat.
- Bake – Place the wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
- Add the Eyes – Let cool for a couple minutes, then use a dab of honey, mustard, or ketchup to stick on the candy eyes.
Fun Tip: Serve with ketchup or marinara “blood” for dipping—extra spooky points guaranteed!
