Easy Halloween Mummy Dogs
My kids absolutely love these mummy dogs and request them every year. They make the perfect easy Halloween recipe. Serve them for Halloween dinner with a warm bowl of homemade chili and some Halloween punch.
These hot dog mummies are SO easy to make and take only 2 simple ingredients: hot dogs and crescent rolls, they taste just like pigs in a blanket! You can make mini mummy hot dogs with lil’ smokies for fun Halloween party appetizer, too.
Recipe Ingredients
Made with just 2 ingredients, these mummy hot dogs are nearly impossible to mess up! The juicy hot dog paired with the flaky and buttery crescent dough is a family favorite.
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Hot dogs: One package of your favorite hot dog brand. You could also use little smokies to make a mini version, but the hot dog mummy will seem more realistic using regular sized hot dogs.
- Refrigerated crescents: One can of the original refrigerated crescent dough (such as Pillsbury). You could also always make your own homemade pizza dough to make them, but Halloween night is usually a little hectic at our house so we go with easy. ;)
Mini Mummy Dogs: To make the mini version, simply follow the same steps as making the regular mummy dogs, however use a pack of lil’ smokies instead. I like to make both regular and mini sized…it’s fun to have some variation. Plus my kids love the minis, too!
How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs
These Halloween hot dogs are so simple to make and come together in just 20 minutes!
- Seal. First separate the dough and then seal the 2 triangles together to create a rectangle.
- Cut. Then use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to create 1/4″ strips of dough.
- Wrap. Wrap 2-4 of the thin pieces of dough around the hot dogs to create the mummy look with bandages.
- Bake. Place on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes (until golden brown)
Once they’re done, you can add 2 eyes with mustard and a toothpick or leave them without. You could even stick on some candy eyeballs if you’d like. Cute and creepy all at the same time!
Spooky Spider Web Sauce
We love to make this spooky spider web sauce for dipping the Halloween mummies. It’s super fun, festive and easy to make .All you need is some ketchup and mustard.
1. Pour the ketchup into a bowl.
2. Next draw a few circles on top with the mustard.
3. Then use a toothpick to draw the lines to create the web.
Super easy and the kids love to dip the mummy dogs into it!
Serving Suggestions
Feel free to set out an array of dipping sauces for your guests. BBQ sauce, honey mustard and ranch dressing are some of our favorites. A creamy nacho cheese dip is also another fabulous idea!
Making Ahead of Time
What’s great about this recipe is that you can easily prepare the mummy dogs in advance.
Wrap the dough around the hot dogs and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to bake. When ready to bake, simply pop the wrapped hot dogs in the oven. So easy and they’ll be done baking in just 10 minutes!
