Print Recipe

These easy mummy hot dogs are wrapped in crescent dough and baked until golden, making a fun and adorable Halloween treat that kids and adults love. Perfect for parties, they come together in under 25 minutes with just three simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 beef or turkey hot dogs
  • Yellow mustard (for eyes)
  • Cooking spray or melted butter (optional)
  • Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (optional)
  • Cheese slices (optional)
  • Pretzel sticks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 4 rectangles along the perforated lines. Press the diagonal perforations together firmly to form solid rectangles.
  3. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 3-4 strips, about 1/2 inch wide, using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  4. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  5. Wrap each hot dog with 2-3 dough strips, stretching the dough slightly and leaving small gaps between strips to mimic bandages. Overlap the ends slightly and tuck them under the hot dog to secure.
  6. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  7. Brush with melted butter if desired for a golden sheen.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
  9. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving plate.
  10. Add mustard eyes using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, dotting two small eyes on the exposed hot dog section near the top.

Notes

For best results, use cold dough and pat hot dogs dry. Leave gaps between dough strips for a mummy look. Tuck ends under to prevent unraveling. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent dough. For vegetarian, swap hot dogs for cheese sticks or vegetarian sausages.
