🔪How To Make Halloween Hot Dogs?
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unroll the crescent roll and flatten the dough until it’s even. Cut the dough into thin strips with a sharp knife from the top of the dough to the bottom so they are long. You will probably need two strips per hot dog.
- Step 2: Roll the strip of dough around the hot dog, creating bandages while leaving space for the head. Do not cover the hot dog completely. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs.
- Step 3: Place the hot dogs on a baking sheet and brush them with egg wash so they look golden brown. Bake for about 15 minutes.
- Step 4: Remove from the oven and add the candy eyes using a dot of mustard or ketchup where the face of the mummy is. Serve and enjoy this fun Halloween lunch idea!

Mummy hot dogs are simply hot dogs wrapped in pre-made croissant dough. They are fun and spooky-looking Halloween party food treats that are bound to be a big hit with everyone, both kids and adults alike!
Well, first of all they are really cute. But I think the main reason is that they are so easy to make. You don’t have to be a great cook or baker to make these. Just about anyone can do it.
Allow Halloween Hot Dogs to cool to room temperature. Place in an airtight container or wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate within two hours of cooking. Consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
For crafting mummy hot dogs, refrigerated crescent roll dough is commonly used due to its convenience and flaky texture. Alternatively, crescent dough sheets, which lack perforations, can provide a smoother wrapping. Some recipes also suggest using puff pastry or pizza dough for a different texture and flavor.
After baking, you can use mustard, ketchup, or even small candy eyes to add facial features to your mummy hot dogs. Simply apply dots or lines to create eyes, noses, and mouths, enhancing their spooky appearance.
Yes, you can assemble mummy hot dogs up to 2 hours before baking. Prepare them as directed, cover tightly, and refrigerate until ready to bake. This allows for convenient preparation, especially during busy Halloween festivities.
Absolutely! You can substitute traditional hot dogs with vegetarian or vegan sausages. Ensure that the dough used is also vegan-friendly if catering to dietary preferences. This way, everyone can enjoy this festive treat.
