Mummy Hot Dogs Recipe

Mummy Hot Dogs Recipe

Fall and Halloween are such fun times to spice up lunch and have fun with your recipes.

The kids love a good hot dog. Ethan vegetarian and Emma her Applegate Farms hot dogs.

With the simple alteration to dough you’ve got a fun “mummy” that makes lunch a little more exciting.

This recipe can be modified easily … leave out the cheese or substitute homemade dough for store bought.

The idea, though, is pure fun!

INGREDIENTS:
1 can Crescent Roll Dough (or homemade dough)
2 Cheese slices
8 Hot Dogs
16 Candy Eyes
Cooking spray

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375.
Cut each cheese slice into 4 strips.
Unroll dough and separate into 4 rectangles (crimp diagonal cuts in each one together).
Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 1/2″ strips and join 2 together to form one long “bandage”.
You will have 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).
Wrap “bandage” of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese.
Make sure to leave a gap for face.
Place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down) on non stick cookie sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Bake 15 minutes or until dough is lightly brown.
Place a small piece of cheese where eyes go and place in oven to melt slightly.
Place 2 eyes on each mummy.

  14. My oldest daughter had a Monster High themed birthday party a few years ago and we made Mummy Hot Dogs as part of the “haunting” food spread. I should really think about making them again since they were such a hit with the kids.

  18. I”m not very creative when it comes to my kids’ food so I’ve never messed with their hot dogs. These are adorable. We are gluten free so I can’t use the crescent rolls, but I’m sure I could come up with something else to use.

  36. Martin says

    It’s official—Americans love hot dogs. According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, Americans eat approximately 20 billion hot dogs per year, meaning about 70 hot dogs per person. That’s a lot of hot dogs. These adorable crescent-wrapped mummy hot dogs are a great dish to serve during the spookiest season of the year. Halloween traditions were brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would commonly celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes. Mummies first became associated with Halloween due to their roles as monsters in Hollywood horror movies. So, what better to excuse to bring together two great American traditions into one meal? This recipe makes 10 servings and can be made in less than an hour. Never run out of yummy meal ideas, no matter the holiday, by browsing all of our best dinners you can make with a can of crescent rolls .
