Hot dogs wrapped in strips of crescent dough to look like mummies, baked golden and finished with candy eyes.
Servings 8 mummies
Course Appetizer
Cuisine American

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent dough sheet 8 oz, or crescent rolls pinched together
  • 8 hot dogs patted dry
  • 1 large egg beaten, optional for shine
  • 16 candy eyes or dots of mustard
  • ketchup and mustard for dipping

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Unroll the dough and pinch any seams closed. Cut into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide with a pizza cutter.
  3. Wrap 2 or 3 strips around each hot dog, crisscrossing and leaving a small gap near one end for the face.
  4. Place on the baking sheet and brush the dough lightly with beaten egg.
  5. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the dough is golden and puffed.
  6. Let cool 2 minutes, then press on candy eyes (a tiny dot of mustard helps them stick). Serve with ketchup and mustard.

Notes

Make ahead: wrap the hot dogs up to 4 hours ahead, cover and refrigerate, then bake just before the party.
Veggie option: use plant-based hot dogs or thick carrot sticks roasted until tender first.
