Hello October!

Spooks and spells abound and mummies run all over the ground.

Look.

Poetry.

While mummies may not be running around, they sure do appear in my kitchen around Halloween!

We’ve done fun mummy mozzarella sticks.

My son is currently on a hot dog kick so why not make Halloween hot dogs?

These crescent roll mummy hot dogs are a hit for the kids and so easy.

They’re perfect for Trick or Treat night or any Halloween party.

Ingredients and Kitchen Supplies

Here’s what you need to make mummy hot dogs for Halloween or really any spooky party:

• Hot Dogs – You can use your favorite brand. We used Sabrett because they are one of my hub’s favorites, but you can use any brand you like. And if you want to get wild, you can even use sausage. Sabrett’s tend to be a bit longer and come in a pack of six. This was nearly perfect with a single pack of crescent rolls. If you use more, you might need to use another package of crescent rolls too.
• Crescent Rolls – Like the hot dogs, you can use whatever brand floats your boat. We used store brand to save some costs. We find they taste about the same as the bigger brands out there, so not missing much.
• Candy Eyes – You just sort of gently push these into the cooked crescant roll wrapping. You can also dip in a bit of water to help them stick. Another option is to use black olive rounds instead of candy eyes.

You really don’t need any equipment for these mummy hot dogs.

You probably have everything you need, including:

• knife or pizza cutter
• baking sheet

How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs

1. Cut the crescant rolls into strips.

Actual step one is preheat your oven to 375 or whatever the directions on your crescent rolls says.

As the oven heats, pop open the crescent rolls and carefully unroll the rolls.

It is OK if they break a bit.

They do not need to be perfect to wrap your mummies.

Once unrolled, cut the crescent rolls into thin strips.

If they are too wide, you can pull them gently apart to thin them out a bit.

You can set these on a plate while you make all your strips.

2. Wrap the mummy hot dogs.

Once your strips are ready, take a single hot dog from the package and begin wrapping it, starting at the top.

When the first one is done, start with another strip and continue until you have covered the hot dog.

You can press the wrapped strips a bit closer if you like or as needed.

You only need a single layer of wrapping, keep in mind it will expand and rise some in the oven.

Repeat until you run out of wraps or hot dogs.

3. Bake and serve.

When you have wrapped all the hot dogs, place them on a cookie or baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between.

Bake them for about 10 to 12 minutes or until they have turned golden brown and puffed up some.

Allow to cool for a few minutes before gently pushing the candy eyes into to crescent rolls near one end or the other to create a face.

Serve the mummy hot dogs at your Halloween or spooky party.

Serving

Serve mummy hot dogs for Halloween at your next party, on trick or treat night, or any time you want during spooky season.

These Halloween hot dogs are not much more work to get together than just preparing standard hot dogs, so they are good options to spice up a weeknight hot dogs and mac and cheese night.

Of course, they go great with ketchup and mustard or any of your favorite fixings.

You can also pair with easy to eat veggies, like carrots and celery sticks, or fruit for a slightly healthier meal.

Pair these with fun Halloween desserts, like spider cupcakes or monster bark.

Storing

Eating these mummy hot dogs are really the way to go.

If you make too many, you can freeze or refrigerate them.

They should stay fresh for about 3 to 5 days or 6 months in the fridge and freezer respectively.

To reheat, thaw any frozen mummy hot dogs and then either microwave for a few seconds or in the oven set to 300 for about 5 to 10 minutes or until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

• You can use pie crust if you prefer. If you do, remember, it won’t puff out as much. It also might be bit sweeter. We prefer using crescent rolls for the flavor and puffiness. Puff pastry would also work.
• You don’t need to, but spraying the cookie sheet can help prevent sticking to the pan. You could also use parchment paper.
• Don’t add the eyes until after the hot dogs have cooled just a bit. They will melt in the oven if you add them before baking. If you have any trouble adfixing them, you can wet their backs a bit and stick them on. The sugar will act as a light glue for the eyes.
