Description

These 5-Ingredient Hot Dog Mummies are a fun and spooky appetizer perfect for Halloween or any party. Wrapped in crescent dough with edible candy eyes, these quick and easy treats combine savory hot dogs with a hint of garlic, mustard, and ketchup, creating a delightful snack that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs (Hebrew National recommended)
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent dough
  • 16 edible candy eyes

Condiments & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Additional

  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the hot dog mummies evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare crescent dough: Carefully unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into rectangles by pressing the perforations. Then slice each rectangle lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide, which will be used to wrap the hot dogs.
  3. Wrap hot dogs: Take each hot dog and wrap it with the crescent dough strips in a crisscross pattern, leaving some gaps to mimic mummy wrappings. Be sure to cover most of the hot dog but leave some space to place the candy eyes later.
  4. Apply egg wash and seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk the large egg to make the egg wash. Brush the dough-wrapped hot dogs lightly with the egg wash to give them a golden-brown finish in the oven. Then, sprinkle garlic powder over each wrapped hot dog for added flavor.
  5. Bake the mummies: Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Add eyes and condiments: Once baked, remove the hot dog mummies from the oven and gently press two edible candy eyes onto each mummy to create the spooky face. Serve with small bowls of ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute edible candy eyes with small dots of mustard or ketchup if preferred.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the garlic powder before sprinkling.
  • Make sure the dough strips are not too thick to avoid undercooked dough in the center.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving to keep them warm and crispy.
