Creepy & Cute Hot Dog Mummies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
  • 1 tablespoon mustard or ketchup (for eyes)
  • 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
  • Black sesame seeds or edible candy eyes (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Prepare the Crescent Dough:
    • Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the perforated edges to seal any seams. Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the dough into thin strips (about 1/4 inch wide).
  • Wrap the Hot Dogs:
    • Take one hot dog at a time and wrap it with the dough strips, leaving small gaps between the strips to mimic mummy bandages. Leave a small space at the top for the face. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs.
    • Optional: Brush the wrapped hot dogs with a beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish.
  • Bake:
    • Place the wrapped hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
  • Decorate the Mummies:
    • Once baked, use mustard, ketchup, or a small dab of cream cheese to dot “eyes” onto the hot dogs. If you have edible candy eyes or black sesame seeds, you can place them on top for extra spooky effect.
  • Serve:
    • Serve your Hot Dog Mummies warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce on the side.
