Hot Dog Mummies

Why we love this recipe
Boo! It’s just about that time again, and amid all the fun-sized Snickers bars and candy corn and caramel apples and pumpkin-infused donuts, we are also at some point going to need to feed the kids some Regular Food.
And while these Halloween hot dogs aren’t the fanciest dinner entree, they ARE festive and they DON’T involve chocolate, which on October 31st pretty much qualifies them as dinner.
So move over Three Musketeers bars…the hot dog mummies are in town!

Here’s how you make this recipe
These quick and festive characters are made by cutting crescent roll or breadstick dough (yes, the kind that comes in the can…we have a busy schedule on Halloween!) into 1/4 inch strips, winding the strips around hot dogs, baking them for about 10 minutes until the dough is golden, dotting the tops of the mummies with some mustard eyes, and handing them out.
No forks or even plates necessary!
And with that, the only thing I have left to say is Happy Halloween to All!

These are great, we used make these when I was growing u, my mom was a fan of Bisquick biscuits so usually we used those! What a yummy and cute treat!
I love Bisquick biscuits! And pancakes…yum. :)
What sound did you end up making then?! These are super cute!
I think I just swayed back and forth. In retrospect, the teenager tells me I should have said “Photosynthesis!”
Great recipe! My daughter loves it!

Thanks for this. I just told my hubby I was going to make these on Halloween last night but needed to find out how long to cook them. I opened my email and you anwsered this morning! Love it when that happens!
Great minds think alike! :)
LOL, we don’t eat hot dogs but I just had to say how they made me laugh, so cute !
They are pretty goofy, aren’t they! :)
I can definitely see why you were traumatized! I probably would have been as well. But these cute mummies heal all wounds!
They do! Depending on what happens with Hurricane Sandy I might have to make more of them! :)
