Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs

These are super easy to make and even more fun to eat! And not only that but your kids will absolutely love helping you make them! Put them in charge of wrapping the dough around the hot dogs! Or, my kids’ favorite part is sticking the candy eyeballs on them and making them “come alive!” You might want to double the recipe because these will go fast! But because they were so easy, you can always whip up more in a breeze.

Not only are these super simple but they are almost too cute to eat! Plus, they will be the hit of the party! You can’t beat a meal that’s easy, looks festive, AND is kid-friendly to eat! Everyone will go crazy over them! Plus, you can take the extra minute or two to add in a spider web to your dipping sauce and the entire meal goes up a spooky notch! They’re easy, quick and a fun finger food for young and old alike. It’s so fun for Halloween and kids will totally approve!

Ingredients You Need to Make Mummy Hot Dogs

Have fun making these hot dog crescent rolls! Using only two ingredients, you really can’t go wrong! See the recipe card below for exact ingredient measurements.

  • Crescent Roll Dough: For best results use regular crescent rolls. Reduced fat dough is stickier and makes wrapping the hot dogs difficult.
  • Hot Dogs: Use your favorite kind of hot dogs

These are so simple to make and come together quickly. You can get creative then these so then each mummy dog can be unique!

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Open the crescent dough and press seams together. Using a pizza cutter, cut 1/4 strips.
  2. Create: Wrap each hot dog creating a bandage look leaving gaps and overlapping the dough. Then, create a crisscross pattern until the entire hot dog is wrapped.
  3. Bake: Place each mummy dog on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Using ketchup or mustard you can then create little eyes for the mummies.

  • Eyes: If you donโ€™t have candy eyes handy then you can draw eyes on! Add a a couple of dots of ketchup or mustard to the mummy dogs where the eyes would go.
  • Mini: Use little smokies as the hot dogs and then wrap them the same way to make baby mummies!
  • Make them big: If you want tomake then bigger then use smoked sausages for bigger beefier ones.
  • Cheese: Place a hot dog sized slice on cheese on the back of the hot dog and then wrap it with the crescent dough.
  • Butter: Brush the dough with melted butter before placing in the oven for an even buttery flakey finish.

  1. I have been trying to find a recipe for hot dogs from possibly back in the 1970’s. It consisted of hot dogs cut lengthwise half way thru. Then you made instant mashed potatoes but cut down on the amount of water and added prepared mustard. The cut hot dogs were filled with the mustardy potatoes. I don’t remember the rest but I believe there was bacon wrapped around the whole dog and maybe there was cheese but I am not sure. Have you ever heard of this or would you know where I could look for it. I have tried so many times I am giving up. My adult kids remember this and would like me to make it again for them. I hope you or someone you know can help me. Thanks in advance. And, by the way, I like so many of your recipes.

    1. Hi Pamela! I have not heard of this recipe before. It sounds delicious and something to try but I am not sure what to even call it. I will keep my eye out and see if we can recreate this dinner for you!
