Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to make these ghoulishly delightful mummy hot dogs:
- 1 8–oz. can of crescent roll dough
- 2 1/2 slices of American cheese (optional, for a cheesy twist)
- 10 hot dogs (use your favorite type: beef, turkey, veggie)
- Cooking spray or 2 tablespoons melted butter (for that perfect golden finish)
- Mustard or ketchup (for the eyes)
- Googly eyes (for some extra spook factor, optional)
How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs
First, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
This way, the mummy dogs won’t stick, and you’ll have an easy cleanup—because nobody wants to be scrubbing trays after a party!
Next, roll out your crescent roll dough onto a cutting board.
If you’re using the pre-cut crescent roll dough, press the seams together to create smooth sheets.
Now, it’s time to slice! Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin strips.
These strips are what we’ll use to wrap up our mummy hot dogs.
Now, grab a hot dog and, if you’re in the mood for cheesy goodness, lay a strip of American cheese underneath.
Take one of the dough strips and start wrapping it around the hot dog, leaving a little space near the top for the eyes.
Don’t worry about making it perfect—mummies are supposed to look a little rough around the edges, right?
If your dough strips are too short, just add another one and keep wrapping. It’s Halloween, after all, so the more “bandages,” the better!
Once all your hot dogs are wrapped and looking sufficiently spooky, place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Give them a light spray of cooking oil or brush them with melted butter to ensure they bake up golden and delicious.
Pop them in the oven and bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the dough is beautifully golden brown.
While your mummies are baking, you can get ready for the final touch—the eyes!
Once your mummy dogs come out of the oven and cool slightly, use mustard or ketchup to make two tiny dots in the space you left at the top.
If you really want to take it to the next level, stick on some googly eyes for a spooky finish.
And just like that, your creepy, cute mummies are ready to serve!
Tips for Perfect Mummy Dogs
More dough, more mummy!
If you find your dough strips a little short, don’t hesitate to add more for extra wrapping power.
Want to make your mummies look even more authentic?
Try crisscrossing the dough in different directions for a real mummy bandage effect.
If you’re using cheese, just be aware that things can get a little messy—American cheese likes to melt and ooze out over the bandages.
Want cleaner mummies?
Skip the cheese (or just embrace the ooey-gooey goodness!).
And here’s a pro tip: dry the hot dogs off with a paper towel before wrapping them in the dough.
This makes the dough stick better and keeps things from getting too slippery.
What to Serve with Mummy Hot Dogs
Your mummy hot dogs will be the star of the show, but what’s a party without some extra spooky sauces on the side? Here are some ideas:
- Spider Web Dipping Sauce: This one is fun and easy! Just fill a bowl with ketchup, then draw concentric circles with mustard. Use a toothpick to drag from the center outward, creating a spider web effect.
- Chipotle Aioli: For a smoky, spicy kick!
- Garlic Aioli: If you’re a garlic fan, this one’s a no-brainer.
- Classic Ranch Dressing: Because ranch goes with everything.
Spider Web Dipping Sauce: How to Make It
For an extra festive touch, you can whip up a quick spider web dipping sauce! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Spread ketchup evenly in a dipping bowl.
- Draw mustard circles over the ketchup, starting from the center and working your way out.
- Create the web by dragging a toothpick from the center to the edge, repeating until you have a full spiderweb pattern. It’s spooky, tasty, and totally Instagram-worthy!
Just be careful—once you serve these, you may start hearing some mysterious “wrap me up, mummy!” requests from your guests.
