A fun and easy Halloween snack featuring hot dogs wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough with mustard eyes, perfect for parties and picky eaters.

Ingredients

  • Hot dogs (regular, beef, turkey, or veggie)
  • Refrigerated crescent roll dough (e.g., Pillsbury)
  • Yellow mustard (for eyes)
  • Optional cheese slices (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Cooking spray or butter (for greasing and browning)
  • Black olive slices or peppercorns (optional for eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Open refrigerated crescent roll dough and unroll onto a clean surface. Press perforations to seal into one solid sheet.
  3. Slice dough into thin strips about ½ inch (1.3 cm) wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  4. Wrap each hot dog with dough strips diagonally, leaving a small gap near the top for the face. Overlap slightly to mimic mummy wrappings without wrapping too tightly or loosely.
  5. If using cheese, slip a thin slice under the dough before wrapping.
  6. Place wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet spaced apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is golden brown and puffed, and hot dogs are heated through.
  8. Remove from oven and use a toothpick or spoon tip to dot small yellow mustard eyes on the mummy face area while warm but not too hot.
  9. Let cool on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Seal crescent roll perforations before slicing to prevent tearing. Dust hands and surface lightly with flour if dough is sticky. Brush dough with melted butter before baking for a golden color. Add mustard eyes after baking to avoid burning. Wrap tightly but not too tight to allow dough to puff. Can prepare wrapped hot dogs ahead and refrigerate up to 1 hour before baking.
