20 Minute Mummy Hot Dogs
Hot dogs wrapped in soft dough look like little mummies for an easy-to-make Halloween treat!
Ingredients
- 8-10 hot dogs
- 1 package crescent dough sheets, pre-rolled pizza dough, homemade roll dough, or pizza dough
- 16-20 edible mini candy eyeballs, or ketchup or mustard
- strips of cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove dough from package and unroll, or roll homemade dough about ¼-inch thick on a floured surface.
- Using a pizza cutter, dough scraper, or long kitchen knife, cut dough into long strips about ½-inch wide.
- Wrap the dough strips around each hot dog, leaving a space at the top for the "face." Overlap the dough to create a mummy-like effect. The dough will stretch a bit as you wrap it, but don't worry if the dough breaks - it makes the mummy look even more authentic! Just keep wrapping.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until hot dogs are plump and dough is golden brown.
- After mummies are slightly cooled, “glue” on candy eyeballs using mustard, or use small dots of mustard or ketchup for eyes.
- For a “cheesy mummy,” wrap a strip of cheese behind each hotdog before baking.
Notes
- We used edible mini candy eyeballs purchased from Amazon.
- Serve with favorite dipping sauces: mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, or ranch dressing. For a spooky twist, color ranch dressing with blue or green food coloring - or any fun Halloween color! Blue food coloring turns mustard a creepy green color!
