Why You’ll Love These Mummy Hot Dogs

Picture this: it’s a chilly October evening, the leaves are crunching underfoot, and you’ve got a gaggle of hungry kiddos running around. Instead of heading out for takeout, how about concocting these adorable Mummy Hot Dogs right at home? Not only are they a hit with kids, but they’ll also unleash your inner kiddo. Plus, they require just a handful of ingredients and a few moments in the oven—perfect for busy women juggling work, family, and life!

Ingredients

Let’s jump right into the deliciousness! For this spooky treat, you’ll need:

• 8 hot dogs (or bratwurst if you’re feeling fancy!)
• 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Mustard or ketchup (for eyes)
• Optional: cheese slices (to make your mummies extra cheesy!)

Pro Tip: If you’re feeling extra adventurous, try using turkey or plant-based hot dogs for a lighter or veggie-friendly twist!

Cooking Steps

Now, onto the fun part—the cooking!

1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C). This lets your oven warm up while you prepare your mummies.
2. Prep the dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it. You’ll want to separate it into the perforated triangles.
3. Create the wraps: Take each triangle and cut it into thin strips. Begin wrapping the dough strips around each hot dog, leaving a small space at each end to create that mummy look. Think of it as a cozy blanket for your hot dog!
4. Place on a baking sheet: Arrange your wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent sticking and clean-up (because we all know that’s a win!).
5. Egg wash: Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk it up. Brush a little of the egg wash over the crescent dough to give your mummies a golden brown finish.
6. Bake: Pop the mummies into your preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
7. Add the eyes: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a minute or two. Then, using mustard or ketchup, draw little eyes on your delightful mummies!

Voilà! Your Mummy Hot Dogs are ready to be devoured!

Cooking Tips

• Get creative with eyes: If you want to up your game, you can use tiny bits of olives or mini chocolate chips for a fun pop of color!
• Batch cooking: Make a larger batch for easy snacks throughout the week. They heat up nicely in the microwave for those busy school nights.
• Impress ‘em: Serve your Mummy Hot Dogs with a side of spooky dips like ghostly ranch or blood-red ketchup!
