Spooky Mummy Hot Dogs Recipe

These mummy hot dogs are made by wrapping classic hot dogs in crescent roll dough to look like spooky little mummies. You can bake them in the oven or cook them in the air fryer. The recipe makes 8 servings.

Cook and Prep Times

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
  Cook Time:
  Air Fryer: 5–7 minutes
  Oven: 12–15 minutes
  Cooling Time: 2 minutes
  Total Time:
  Air Fryer: ~19 minutes
  Oven: ~27 minutes

Ingredients

• 8 hot dogs
• 1 can crescent roll dough
• Candy eyeballs (or tiny dots of mustard/ketchup for eyes)
• Cooking spray or parchment paper for baking

Instructions

Heat things up

• Turn the air fryer on to 350°F (175°C) and let it run for about 5 minutes while you prep.
• If using the oven, set it to 375°F (190°C).

Shape the wrappings

• Open the crescent roll tube and pull the dough apart into triangles.
• Slice the dough into narrow strips (about ¼ inch wide).

Wrap the mummies

• Take a hot dog and wind strips of dough around it, crisscrossing and overlapping so it looks like bandages.
• Be sure to leave a little gap near the top for the “face.”
• Repeat with all hot dogs.

Cook them

• Air fryer: Place the wrapped hot dogs into the basket without crowding. Cook for 5–7 minutes at 350°F (175°C), until the dough turns golden brown.
• Oven: Arrange on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

Add spooky eyes

• Let them cool for about 2 minutes.
• Stick candy eyeballs into the gaps, or dot mustard/ketchup to create little faces.

Serve up

• Plate them while warm and offer ketchup or mustard for dipping.
