MUMMY HOT DOGS
Speaking of spooky season, I am very excited to say that Halloween is coming up here very soon! As usual, my family is throwing a Halloween party, and it’s at my house. So you already know it’s going to be good. 😉 I’ve planned tons of different games that everyone can join in on, such as a costume contest, apple bobbing, toilet-paper mummy wrap, and my personal favorite, seeing who can eat a donut the fastest with their hands behind their back. To say the least, this year’s gonna be a fun one!

They are so easy to make, and the kiddos will love them. To really set these over the bar, you could also make a sweet mustard sauce to serve on the side as a dip! You could even use the cheese-filled hot dogs for a warm and gooey cheese center. No matter how you choose to make or serve these, know you’ll love them!

Ingredients
- 10 Hot Dogs
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough
- cooking spray
- Mustard and Ketchup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Unravel the dough and separate at perforations. Create 4 rectangles. Press perforations together to seal.
Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 thin strips. Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog. Stretching the dough completely around the hot dog to look like ‘bandages’. Leave a 1/2 inch wide space at the top of each hot dog to reveal the ‘face’ of the mummy. Repeat with all hot dogs.
Place mummy dogs on an ungreased cookie sheet. Spray them lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown and the hot dogs are hot.
Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Create the ‘eyes’ with two dots of mustard. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard. Enjoy!
Servings
Serves 10.
Storage and Reheating
If you have leftovers, allow the mummy hot dogs to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep the crescent roll dough from getting soggy, avoid stacking them directly on top of each other—use parchment paper between layers if needed.
To reheat, place mummy hot dogs on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes until heated through and the dough is crisp again. You can also microwave them for 20–30 seconds, but the dough will be softer.
Holly’s Tips for the Best Mummy Hot Dogs:
- Seal the Dough Properly: Press the perforations together before cutting strips to prevent the crescent dough from unrolling while baking.
- Don’t Wrap Too Tightly: Stretch the dough gently around the hot dogs to resemble mummy “bandages.” Wrapping too tightly can prevent even baking.
- Leave Space For The Mummy Face: Make sure to leave about ½ inch at the top so you can add mustard eyes after baking.
- Use Cooking Spray Sparingly: A light spray prevents sticking without making the dough soggy.
- Check Oven Temperature: Ovens vary, so start checking around 12 minutes. The hot dogs should be hot, and the dough golden brown.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Absolutely! Beef, turkey, or chicken hot dogs all work well. Just adjust cooking time slightly if needed.
Once the mummy hot dogs are baked and slightly cooled, use a squeeze bottle or toothpick to place two small dots of mustard for the eyes.
Yes! Assemble the mummy hot dogs, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving for the freshest results.
Yes! Use gluten-free crescent roll dough or puff pastry and choose hot dogs labeled gluten-free. Wrap and bake as usual, leaving space at the top for mustard “eyes.” Baking times may vary slightly, so check that the dough is golden and the hot dogs are heated through. Serve fresh for the best taste and texture.
