Print Recipe

These mummy hot dogs are a quick, fun, and delicious Halloween treat made with just hot dogs, crescent roll dough, and mustard or ketchup for eyes. Perfect for parties, they come together in under 25 minutes and are always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8-count) hot dogs (beef, turkey, or chicken)
  • 1 can (8-count) crescent roll dough (e.g., Pillsbury Original)
  • Mustard or ketchup (for the eyes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it along the perforated lines into 8 triangles. Lay them flat on a cutting board.
  3. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each triangle lengthwise into 4 to 5 thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
  4. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel. Optionally, cut a small slit in each hot dog about halfway through to create a ‘mouth’.
  5. Take one hot dog and start wrapping a dough strip around it, leaving a small gap near the top for the ‘face’. Overlap the strips slightly and tuck the ends underneath the hot dog. Don’t wrap too tightly.
  6. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each.
  7. Sprinkle with garlic powder (if using).
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let them cool for 2 to 3 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  10. Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, dab small dots of mustard or ketchup onto the exposed part of the hot dog to create eyes. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, don’t overwork the dough. Wrap strips loosely to prevent splitting. Add eyes after baking for better adhesion. Keep warm in a 200°F oven for up to 30 minutes before serving. For a cheesy version, stuff a thin strip of cheese inside the hot dog before wrapping. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crescent roll dough.
