How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs with Crescent Rolls

These Halloween hot dogs are surprisingly easy to make!

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into four rectangles. Press the perforations together to seal the dough.

Using a pizza cutter, slice each rectangle lengthwise into 10 thin strips. You should have 40 strips total.

Step 3: Cut the Cheese

Cut each slice of cheese into four pieces, giving you 10 smaller cheese pieces.

Step 4: Wrap the Hot Dogs

Place one piece of cheese against each hot dog. Wrap four strips of crescent roll dough around each hot dog and cheese combination to create the mummy bandages.

Gently stretch and overlap the dough as needed, leaving a small opening near the top for the mummy’s face.

Step 5: Bake

Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet with the cheese side facing down.

Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is lightly golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.

Step 6: Add the Candy Eyes

Remove the mummy hot dogs from the oven and carefully add two candy eyes to the opening of each mummy’s face.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Mummy Hot Dogs

Use a pizza cutter. This makes cutting the crescent roll dough into thin, even strips much easier.

Leave room for the eyes. When wrapping the hot dogs, make sure you leave a small gap near the top for the candy eyes.

Place the cheese side down. This helps keep the cheese tucked underneath the hot dogs while they bake. Some cheese may still melt onto the baking sheet.

Keep an eye on the oven. Baking times can vary slightly, so remove the hot dogs once the dough is golden brown.

Let the kids help. Wrapping the hot dogs with crescent roll strips is a fun activity for little helpers!
