Recipe Ingredients
- Hot Dogs: The “body” of the mummy, providing a savory, meaty bite.
- Crescent Roll Dough: Wraps around the hot dogs to create the “bandages” of the mummy, offering a soft, buttery contrast to the hot dogs.
- Edible Eyes: The finishing touch that brings the mummies to life, adding a fun and spooky element.
- Mustard: Gives a tangy flavor kick to the hot dogs, enhancing their savoriness.
- Egg: Used for an egg wash to give the crescent roll dough a golden, appetizing finish.
How To Make Halloween Hotdogs?
Step One: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unroll the crescent roll and flatten the dough until it’s even. Cut the dough into thin strips with a sharp knife from the top of the dough to the bottom so they are long. You will probably need two strips per hot dog.
Step Two: Roll the strip of dough around the hot dog, creating bandages while leaving space for the head. Do not cover the hot dog completely. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs.
Step Three: Place the hot dogs on a baking sheet and brush them with egg wash so they look golden brown. Bake for about 15 minutes.
Step Four: Remove from the oven and add the candy eyes using a dot of mustard or ketchup where the face of the mummy is. Serve and enjoy this fun Halloween lunch idea!
