Ingredients:
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 can (8 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry sheets
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
- Mustard or ketchup (for eyes)
Preparation and Steps:
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). To make cleanup easy, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Dough
Take the crescent roll dough and unroll it on a flat surface. Press it out gently to make a sheet. With a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice the dough into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. These strips will become the “mummy wrappings” for your hot dogs!
3. Wrap the Hot Dogs
Wrap each hot dog with two or three of the dough strips. Be sure to leave a small gap at the top of each hot dog—this open space is where you'll add the "eyes" later. Wrap the strips in overlapping patterns to give each hot dog a classic mummy look.
4. Bake the Mummies
Place each wrapped hot dog on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and remove when the dough is golden brown.
5. Add Eyes
Once the mummies are baked, it's time to add the finishing touch—the eyes! Use a toothpick to carefully dot mustard or ketchup on the exposed part of each hot dog, creating little eyes that give each mummy a personality.
Presentation Tips
Serve your Mummy Hot Dogs on a Halloween-themed tablecloth from All Cotton and Linen. You can place a bowl of ketchup or mustard on the side for easy dipping. For added effect, scatter a few Halloween-themed decorations around the platter, like candy eyes, tiny pumpkins, or plastic spiders.
