Mummy Hot Dogs
Are you looking for a delightful and spooky snack to bring some Halloween fun to your table? Look no further than these Mummy Hot Dogs! They're simple to prepare, filled with flavor, and a guaranteed hit with kids (and adults too!). With some crescent roll dough wrapped around hot dogs to look like cute little mummies, these treats are as adorable as they are delicious. Plus, they can be paired with your favorite dipping sauces for extra yum!
Ingredients
- 1 can of crescent roll dough or puff pastry for a flakier texture
- 12 hot dogs you can use regular, turkey, or veggie dogs
- Mustard or ketchup for eyes or mini chocolate chips
- Cooking spray or olive oil to grease the baking sheet
- Substitutions: Instead of hot dogs you can use pre-made sausage rolls or even a veggie sausage for a meat-free option. If you prefer no dough, try using tortillas for a crunchy wrap!
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: First off, let’s set that oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C). This way, it’ll be nice and hot when we’re ready to bake.
- Prep Your Baking Sheet: Take a baking sheet and either coat it with a bit of cooking spray or lightly drizzle some olive oil. This will keep our mummies from sticking!
- Unroll the Dough: Now let’s open the can of crescent roll dough. Be careful; it can pop open unexpectedly and scare you a little!
- Cut the Dough: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the crescent roll dough into thin strips, about ½ inch wide. The thinner, the better, as they’ll wrap around the hot dogs easier!
- Wrap the Hot Dogs: Take each hot dog and start wrapping it with the dough strips. Make sure to leave a little space at the top for the eyes to peek through. It doesn’t have to be perfect—have fun with it!
- Place Them on the Baking Sheet: Lay each wrapped hot dog on the greased baking sheet, making sure they aren't touching too much (we want them to crisp up nicely!).
- Bake 'Em Up: Pop those mummies into the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through. Keep an eye on them so they don’t get too brown!
- Add the Eyes: Once they’re baked, let them cool for a minute. Then, using mustard, ketchup, or mini chocolate chips, dot some “eyes” on your little mummies. So cute!
- Enjoy: Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and dig in!
