    Halloween Mummy Dogs

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These Halloween mummy hot dogs only need 2 ingredients and a few minutes of your time to prepare and pull together. Every bite is delicious and good spooky fun. Surprise the kids with this for lunch and you're sure to win over all the boys and ghouls.

    If you're looking for a wholesome snack to feed the kids, this one is it. You can use it as a teaching point about real Egyptian mummies and go in-depth about history, or you can simply serve them up on a plate with some ketchup and call it a day. I choose the latter.

    Serving up tasty Halloween recipes with kids is always fun, so don't forget to serve up some Worms and Dirt Cups after lunch! Mummies, dirt, and worms? You'll be the coolest parent around!

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. They're easy to make. These mummy dogs are so easy to prepare that you can even allow the kids to make their own.
    2. You can turn them into a game. Have everyone compete in a "best wrapped" mummy competition for lunch, where everyone wins because everyone gets to eat the prize. Thankfully these taste way better than an actual mummy (I'm assuming).
    3. Festive and educational. Crescent roll hot dog mummies are always a fun and festive idea, whether you choose to make it a learning experience or just a fun one.

    • Baking Sheet

    • Pizza cutter

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make Halloween mummy dogs with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray. Set the pan aside.

    Open a can of crescent rolls and unroll them. Use a pizza cutter to slice them into strips that are about ½ inch to 1 inch wide. Some pieces will be longer than others, and this is okay.

    Pick up one hot dog and one long piece of crescent dough and start at one end of the hot dog. Roll it down the dog, leaving a small gap for the eyes. Grab another piece of crescent roll dough if needed.

    Use smaller pieces of dough to wrap the hot dog in the opposite direction to create a nicely layered appearance.

    Repeat for all of the hot dogs until they have all been wrapped and placed on the baking sheet.

    Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and warmed through.

    Use mustard or ketchup for the eyeballs to complete the look.

    Serve warm.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    This hot dog mummy recipe is one of those no-fail recipes you can't go wrong with. The best thing is that even poorly wrapped mummies still look incredible!

    A real mummy will have bandages all over the place so don't fret if your mummy looks a little less than pristine when finished.

    Depending on how cold your hot dogs are you may find that they need an extra minute or two in the oven to cook as colder hot dogs will slow the cooking on the crescent rolls just a tad and can result in them being a little softer than you may like. For this, I recommend having the hot dogs a little closer to room temp before baking.

    💭 FAQs

  • What can I use for mummy eyes?
  • This is totally up to you as I see many different eyes presented every year. Some people enjoy the candy eyeballs, but I like sticking with ketchup or mustard. Mustard will show up much better, but ketchup can look nice too. I dip a toothpick in the sauce and then stab it through the hotdog, just a little bit, to create the eyes. The sauce covers the holes, and the eyes stay in place because there's not too much in one spot.

    How do you store mummy hot dogs?

    You can keep your leftover hotdog mummies (assuming that there are any) stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat again before eating.

    Can you reheat hot dog mummies?

    You can reheat your mummies in the oven on a baking sheet at 350F for about 3-4 minutes or you can microwave them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
