Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) can Crescent dough
- 3 slices American cheese
- 12 hot dogs
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- Dijon mustard (for decorating eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Crescent Dough Strips: Separate the crescent dough into 4 rectangles, pinching seams as needed to seal. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into thin strips to simulate mummy bandages.
- Cut Cheese Strips: Slice each piece of American cheese into 4 narrow strips to wrap alongside the hot dogs.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Place one hot dog on top of a slice of cheese, then wrap with about 4 crescent dough strips, overlapping slightly to mimic mummy bandages. Repeat with all hot dogs.
- Brush with Butter: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and brush the dough generously with melted butter to enhance browning and flavor.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is cooked through and golden brown.
- Add Mustard Eyes: Using a toothpick, dot small amounts of Dijon mustard onto each hot dog to create spooky mummy eyes for a fun finishing touch.
Notes
- An iconic Halloween snack, these mummy hot dogs are not only scary good but also extremely easy to make.
- Use extra cheese or dough strips if you prefer more generous wrapping on the hot dogs.
- For a spicier version, consider using spicy mustard or adding a sprinkle of paprika before baking.
- These can be served warm as party appetizers or a fun family meal.
