Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs with Crescent Rolls
If you love pigs in a blanket, this is one Halloween-themed recipe you need to bring to this year's Halloween party! I adore anything customizable and quick to make, and this recipe for Halloween mummy hot dogs is just that. By cutting crescent roll dough into strips and adorning hot dogs with the pieces, you can create simple little edible mummy figurines that kiddos will love to munch on as they chitchat about costumes and candy.
My main tip is to not use a full crescent roll dough per hot dog link. By loosely wrapping the dough around the dog and leaving some space between sections of dough, you'll create a better illusion of the wrapped mummy cloth. This recipe is a fun one to get the kids involved with making, whether you let them wrap the hot dogs or apply the ketchup and mustard mummy faces! Either way, this recipe is sure to be a hit at any Halloween festivity.
How do you make a mummy dog?
Mummy hot dogs are easy as pie to make!
- Slice one crescent roll dough section into three thin pieces.
- Cut about 2 inches of one slice off, and wrap around one end of the hot dog for the head piece.
- Wrap one or two more dough slices around the rest of the hot dog, leaving a space for the eyes.
- Bake them for 12 minutes in a 375 degree F. oven.
- Cool for a few minutes, add eyes using the tip of a knife to apply little dots of ketchup or mustard!
Can you reheat mummy dogs?
Yep! If you have leftovers, you can reheat them by placing them in a cold oven, turning it to 350 degrees F., and taking them out when it reaches that temperature. They'll be warm and toasty by then!
Can you prepare mummy dogs in advance?
Yes, this is a great Halloween snack to make ahead and bring to a party. Just cook them as directed, and let them cool completely before packing them in an airtight container. Reheat them using the method above when you're ready to serve them! Wait to add the eyes until just before you're serving them.

Description
These Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs are the cutest snacks ever! Perfect for Halloween parties or just enjoying with the family, these festive snacks (reminiscent of pigs in a blanket) only take 3 ingredients and a few minutes to make!
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 package hot dogs
- Ketchup or mustard for dipping and to make "eyes"
Instructions
- Pop open the tube of crescent rolls, and separate them into the triangles that they come in.
- Use a sharp knife to cute the triangle into 3 long pieces.
- Cut a 2-inch piece of dough off of one of your strips, and wrap it around the top of one hot dog for the mummy's head wrap.
- Use the remaining strips to lightly wrap your hot dog in the roll dough, leaving a space below the head wrap for the face. I use LESS than a full crescent roll for each hot dog. It's easier to see the "wrapping" if you don't put on too much dough.
- Place wrapped hot dog on a baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining hot dogs and rolls until you have made as many as you need.
- Bake at 375 degrees F. for about 12 minutes, or until the the roll dough is golden-brown.
- Remove from the oven, and let the mummies cool for a few minutes.
- Squirt a little ketchup or mustard on a plate, and use the tip of a knife to place a little mustard or ketchup on the "face" as eyes.
- Serve warm with additional ketchup and mustard for dipping.
Notes
- Don't feel like you need to use one cresent roll per hot dog. I always end up using less than a whole one for a better looking mummy. If I have extra crescent roll dough I just roll them up and bake them along side the hot dogs.
- Those cute little candy eyes would be really cute on these.
