Ingredients
1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
8 hot dogs
16 edible eyeball sprinkles
Ketchup and mustard, for dipping
Instructions
Prepare Your Station and Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent dough sheet and pinch the seams together to form a single large rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, slice the dough lengthwise into thin, 1/4-inch strips.
Wrap the Hot Dog Mummies
Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel. Take a strip of dough and wrap it around a hot dog, stretching slightly as you go. Leave some gaps between the dough strips to create a “bandaged” look, and be sure to leave a small space open near one end for the eyes.
Bake Until Golden
Place the wrapped mummy dogs on the prepared baking sheet, about an inch apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
Add the Eyes and Serve
Let the mummy dogs cool on the baking sheet for a minute. While they are still warm, gently press two eyeball sprinkles into the space you left for the face. Serve immediately with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
Notes
Crispy Bandages: For the best texture, don’t wrap the dough strips too tightly around the hot dogs. This allows air to circulate, making the “bandages” perfectly crisp instead of soggy.
Make-Ahead Tip: You can assemble the mummy dogs up to 4 hours in advance. Arrange them on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake directly from the fridge, adding an extra 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
Easy Variations: For a cheesy twist, slice a slit into each hot dog and stuff it with a thin strip of cheddar or mozzarella before wrapping. You can also use cocktail wieners for adorable mini-mummies.
Air Fryer Method: To make these in an air fryer, cook them in a single layer at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until the dough is golden and crispy.
Spooky Sauces: Serve with classic ketchup and mustard, or get creative with a green-tinted ranch dip (“monster slime”) or a marinara sauce (“bloody” dip).
