Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Leave space for the face. When wrapping the dough around each hot dog, leave a small opening near the top so there's room to add the candy eyes after baking.
  • Use thin strips of dough. Cutting the crescent roll dough into narrow strips gives the mummy hot dogs a more realistic "bandaged" appearance and helps the dough cook evenly.
  • Wait to add the candy eyes. Let the mummy hot dogs cool for a minute or two before attaching the eyes with a small dab of mustard, ketchup, cream cheese, or cheese spread.
  • Line your baking sheet. Parchment paper makes cleanup quick and helps prevent the bottoms from over-browning.
  • Customize your mummies. Wrap some more tightly than others or leave larger openings around the face to give each mummy its own personality.
  • Serve with fun dipping sauces. Ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, ranch, or cheese sauce all make delicious companions for these spooky hot dogs.
  • Great for parties. These can be assembled several hours ahead of time, covered, and refrigerated until you're ready to bake, making party prep much easier.
  • Store leftovers properly. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer for a few minutes to crisp the dough back up. Avoid microwaving if possible, as the dough can become soft.
