Mummy Dogs
A spooky Halloween dinner that’s almost too cute to eat!
If you're looking for an easy Halloween dinner the kids will get excited about, these Mummy Dogs are just the thing! Hot dogs are wrapped in strips of crescent roll dough to look like little mummies and baked until golden brown. Add some candy eyes, and you have an adorable Halloween meal that's ready in less than 30 minutes.
I love recipes that make a holiday feel special without adding a bunch of extra work, and these Mummy Dogs definitely fit the bill. They're basically a fun Halloween version of pigs in a blanket, and you only need two main ingredients to make them!
Serve them before heading out for trick-or-treating, make them for a Halloween party, or just surprise the kids with a spooky dinner one night in October.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use crescent roll dough instead of breadsticks?
Absolutely! Crescent roll dough works perfectly. Unroll the dough, pinch the seams together to create one sheet, and then cut it into thin strips with a knife or pizza cutter.
How do you make the hot dogs look like mummies?
Wrap thin strips of dough around each hot dog in different directions to resemble mummy bandages. Leave a small opening near the top of the hot dog for the mummy's face.
Do I have to add the candy eyes?
No. The Mummy Dogs are still adorable without them. You can also use small dots of mustard or ketchup to make eyes.
Can I add cheese to Mummy Dogs?
Yes! Add a small piece of cheese to the face area after baking and return the Mummy Dogs to the oven for about a minute to melt the cheese. Add the candy eyes immediately after removing them from the oven.
Can I make Mummy Dogs ahead of time?
They're best served fresh from the oven, but you can prepare them a little ahead of time. Wrap the hot dogs in the dough, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake.
What should I serve with Mummy Dogs?
Keep the Halloween theme going and serve them with Witches Brew, Autumn Harvest Punch, Baked Chili Fries, or your favorite easy party snacks.

Make mini mummies: Cut the hot dogs in half before wrapping them for bite-sized Halloween party food.

How to cook Mummy Dogs
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll crescent roll and pinch together to form a sheet. (you can also find crescent rolls sheets.) With a knife or pizza cutter, cut the crescent rolls into strips. Wrap the crescent roll "bandages," around the hot dog stretching slightly to completely cover the hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate "bandages" so hot dog shows through for the "face." Place mummy dogs on a large baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown.

Those turned out great! I miss trick or treating as a kid myself. Oh the fun we had. My son doesn't like mustard so he does ketchup eyes. I am glad you liked them. Such an easy dinner for Halloween Night.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! My daughter and husband are going to get such a kick out of these :)
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely adorable! My daughter (who is also to old to trick or treat) will love these.
ReplyDeleteThese are just the cutest ever! Have to make them tomorrow for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday... Hope you come back this week.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever made these in advance? Could I wrap the dogs the night before then bake them the next day at work. I'm thinking of bringing them in for a halloween lunch/cooking contest.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done that before but you could certainly give it a try. If you cook prior that would be soggy so doing it this way should work.
DeleteWow, these are so fun!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun! Can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing from you. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment!
