Easy Mummy Dogs for Halloween

This mummy dogs recipe made with crescent rolls is perfect for kids! Make them for a Halloween party or for an easy weeknight Halloween dinner.

It’s 5pm and the sun won’t be out much longer.

Costumes need fixing, you want decent pictures of your kids in their costumes, and somehow dinner needs to get on the table.

Halloween night is downright hectic!

The last thing you want to worry about is getting dinner on the table. But then again, taking kids out to collect candy without a good dinner is also asking for trouble.

Which is why I love making mummy dogs for my kids on Halloween.

Not only are they a fun treat to make, but they can actually be made in advance, and heated up while you’re scrambling to find the kids’ candy bags.

Plus, the kids just love them. It’s a win all around.

Ingredients

• 1 pack beef hot dogs not bun size
• 1 package Grands crescent rolls
• Ketchup or mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Open the can of crescent rolls and roll out as much of the dough as you can on your cutting board without breaking the dough apart.
3. Pinch the seams of the crescent rolls together. Flip the dough over and repeat.
4. Cut the dough into strips, about 1/4 inch wide. (Don’t worry about being too exact with this)
5. Move the dough strips aside and gather your hot dogs.
6. Place the end of a dough strip at one end of the hot dog and pinch it down into place. Then, gently wrap the strip around the hot dog, leaving a space for the mummy dog’s face.  Add more dough strips as necessary, gently pulling on the dough to create thinner and wider strips of ‘fabric’.
7. Repeat until all hot dogs are covered, or you run out of dough.
8. Place the mummy dogs on the prepared sheet pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the crescent roll dough is lightly browned, but not dark.
9. Using a toothpick, add ketchup or mustard eyes in the opening for the mummy dog’s face.

Recipe Notes

Tips:

• Keeping the crescent roll dough together as a sheet makes the cutting go so much faster.
• Hot dogs can be slippery while you're wrapping them. Take your time for the first hotdog or two and you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly.
• Don't worry about it if the crescent roll dough breaks while you're wrapping the hotdog, just add a new strip and press them together.
• Stretching the crescent roll dough as you wrap up the mummy dogs creates more texture and the more interesting mommy look.
• You don't have to add the eyes to the mummy dogs if your children don't like ketchup or mustard. They're still cute just as cute without the eyes.
• To Reheat: Place the mummy dogs on a sheet pan with parchment paper or a baking stone (that's what we use). Place the mummy dogs in the cold oven, and let the oven preheat to 350°F. When the oven is preheated, use a thermometer to make sure the hot dogs are warmed through.

Get creative:

• Add a small slice of cheese underneath the hot dog for cheesy mummy dogs.
• If you’re making them for a party, try wrapping cocktail wieners instead of full-size hotdogs.
• Serve the mummy dogs with a side of chili for chili dogs.
