Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 beef or turkey hot dogs
- 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash—optional)
- 16 small edible candy eyes (or dots of mustard/ketchup for eyes)
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
Step-By-Step Directions: How to Make Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray. Pat hot dogs dry with a paper towel to ensure the dough sticks well.
Step 2: Cut The Dough
Unroll the crescent dough on a clean cutting board. Press seams together and slice it into thin strips about ¼-inch wide using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Step 3: Wrap Those Mummies
Wrap each hot dog with 2-3 strips of dough, spiraling and overlapping slightly to mimic mummy bandages— leave a small gap at the top for the "face." Place each wrapped dog on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Add The Egg Wash
Brush each wrapped hot dog lightly with beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish (optional).
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
Step 6: Decorate The Mummy Hot Dogs
Let the hot dogs cool slightly, then gently add the edible candy eyes (or dot on mustard/ketchup "eyes") in the exposed face area. Your spooky Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs are ready to serve!
Notes for Success: Ultimate Mummy Hot Dog Tips
- If you prefer, use crescent roll sheets for easier wrapping.
- The egg wash gives an appetizing sheen, but you can skip it if making egg-free.
- Try using different varieties of hot dogs— beef, turkey, chicken, or plant-based all work great.
Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs Variations
- Cheesy Mummies: Add a thin slice of cheddar beneath the crescent dough for melty goodness.
- Spicy Mummies: Use jalapeño cheddar dogs or sprinkle dough with chili flakes before baking.
- Mini Mummies: Make with cocktail sausages for bite-sized party snacks.

How to Store Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes until warmed through. For best texture, avoid microwaving as the dough can become rubbery. Freeze baked, cooled mummies for up to 1 month, and thaw before reheating in the oven.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions for Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs
- Serve with classic condiments (ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce) for dipping.
- Pair with other Halloween party snacks like witch's brew punch and creepy veggie trays.
- Add a side of crunchy chips or a simple salad for a complete meal.
Pro Tips for Perfect Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs
- Don’t over-wrap! Leaving some gaps makes the mummies look more authentic and helps the dough crisp up.
- Patting the hot dogs dry prevents the dough from sliding off during baking—an easy but important step. See this guide for more tips.
- Let the mummies cool just a bit before adding eyes so decorations don’t melt off.
FAQ About Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs
- Can I make Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs ahead of time?
- Yes! Assemble and refrigerate wrapped hot dogs (without baking) for up to 8 hours, then bake just before serving.
- What's the best way to keep them warm for a party?
- Loosely cover and keep in a 200°F (93°C) oven; add eyes just before serving for the best look.
- Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent dough?
- Absolutely! Puff pastry gives a flakier twist—cut into strips and follow the same wrapping and baking instructions.
