Quick and fun mummy hot dogs wrapped in crescent roll dough, perfect for Halloween parties or a playful weeknight dinner. Ready in just 15 minutes with only three ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 standard-size hot dogs (about 4 ounces each)
  • 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury crescent rolls
  • Mustard or ketchup (for the eyes)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional)
  • Optional toppings: everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board. Separate the dough along the perforated lines so you have 8 triangles.
  3. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each triangle lengthwise into 3 or 4 strips, about ¼-inch wide.
  4. Take one hot dog and start wrapping a dough strip around it, starting at one end and working your way up. Leave a small gap at the top—about ½ inch—for the eyes. Overlap the strips slightly as you go. Press the end of the dough gently to seal it. Repeat with all 8 hot dogs.
  5. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
  6. Brush with melted butter (optional) and sprinkle with any desired seasonings.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them.
  9. Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, dab small dots of mustard or ketchup onto the exposed hot dog at the top for eyes.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the dough cold for easier handling. Don’t overwrap—leave a gap for the eyes. Use a pizza cutter for clean strips. Space them out on the baking sheet to prevent sticking. Check for doneness at the thickest part. For a big batch, keep warm in a 200°F oven for up to 30 minutes.
