Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) can Crescent dough
- 3 slices American cheese
- 12 hot dogs
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- Dijon mustard (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Cut Crescent Dough: Separate the crescent dough into 4 rectangles, pinching seams together to form solid rectangles. Then cut each rectangle lengthwise into thin strips that will be used to wrap the hot dogs.
- Prepare Cheese Strips: Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 narrow strips. These strips will go under the hot dog, providing a melty layer.
- Assemble Mummies: Place one hot dog on top of a piece of cheese strip. Wrap the hot dog and cheese with about 4 thin strips of crescent dough each, overlapping to mimic mummy bandages.
- Arrange and Butter: Place all wrapped hot dogs carefully on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy crust upon baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Add Eyes: Once baked, use a toothpick to dot Dijon mustard onto each mummy hot dog to create spooky eyes, finishing the look.
Notes
- Mummy Hot Dogs are perfect for Halloween parties as a fun and easy-to-make snack.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Be careful not to wrap the dough too tightly to allow even cooking of the crescent dough.
- Customize the mustard dots to create different spooky facial expressions.
