Print Recipe

These mummy hot dogs are a fun, fast, and delicious Halloween dinner that kids love. Made with simple ingredients like hot dogs and crescent roll dough, they come together in about 20 minutes and are perfect for a spooky supper or classroom party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 standard-size hot dogs (about 6 inches long, preferably all-beef)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough (regular or buttery flake style)
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (for the eyes)
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for egg wash)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional, for topping)
  • Thin strips of cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional, for cheesy version)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board. Press the perforated seams together gently to create one solid sheet.
  3. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into 8 to 10 thin strips, each about 1/2-inch wide.
  4. Take one hot dog and start wrapping a strip of dough around it, stretching the dough slightly as you go. Leave a small gap near the top for the ‘face.’ The dough should overlap a little but not be too tight.
  5. Place each wrapped mummy dog on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
  6. If using, brush the tops of the wrapped dough with the beaten egg wash.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, and the hot dogs are heated.
  8. Let the mummy dogs cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Then, using a toothpick, dip it into the yellow mustard and dot two small eyes onto the exposed hot dog area.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, keep crescent dough cold. If dough gets too warm, refrigerate for 5 minutes before cutting. Use a toothpick for mustard eyes to prevent them from sliding off. Do not add eyes before baking. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent roll dough. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free crescent dough and skip cheese.
