Hot dogs and crescent roll dough are all you need to make this fun Halloween treat…no tricks needed! Hot dog mummies make a quick and easy Halloween supper, and a great first course before the candy eating begins!
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!
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities and nutritional information.
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!

I can definitely see why you were traumatized! I probably would have been as well. But these cute mummies heal all wounds!
