A fun and easy Halloween snack featuring hot dogs wrapped in flaky crescent dough to resemble mummies, perfect for parties and quick treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 810 regular size hot dogs (preferably natural casing)
  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Mustard or ketchup for decorating the eyes
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for egg wash)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • Poppy seeds or sesame seeds (optional, for crunch)

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 dough on a clean surface. Slice the dough lengthwise into thin strips about ¼ inch (6 mm) wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  3. Lightly sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder over the dough strips, then gently toss or brush with a tiny bit of oil to help the seasoning stick.
  4. Wrap each hot dog with dough strips diagonally, leaving small gaps to create a mummy bandage look. Leave a small space near the top for the face.
  5. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) between each.
  6. Brush each mummy with egg wash. Optionally, sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds on top.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  8. Once slightly cooled but still warm, use a toothpick or small squeeze bottle to dot mustard or ketchup eyes on each mummy.
  9. Serve warm, fresh from the oven.

Notes

Use cold crescent dough for easier slicing and wrapping. Wrap dough strips loosely to avoid doughy spots. Egg wash helps achieve a golden crust but can be skipped for egg-free diets. Add eyes after baking to avoid mess. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
