These easy mummy hot dog bites are a quick and adorable Halloween snack made with hot dogs wrapped in crescent roll dough and baked until golden. Perfect for parties, they’re a crowd-pleaser that looks festive without requiring much effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 hot dogs (standard size)
  • 1 can (8-count) crescent roll dough
  • Yellow mustard (for the eyes)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel. If desired, cut them in half crosswise to make them more bite-sized.
  3. Open the crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean cutting board. If using perforated dough, press the seams together gently to create one solid sheet.
  4. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into thin strips about ¼-inch wide (about 12-15 strips per sheet).
  5. Take one strip of dough and wrap it around a hot dog, starting at one end and working to the other. Leave a small gap near the top for the ‘face.’ The dough should overlap slightly. Repeat with remaining hot dogs.
  6. Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the hot dogs are heated through.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Using a toothpick or small squeeze bottle, add two small dots of mustard near the top of each mummy for eyes.
  9. If using, sprinkle sesame seeds over the mummies while still warm.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, keep crescent dough cold. Leave a gap at the top of the hot dog for the eyes. Add mustard eyes while mummies are still warm to help them set. To prep ahead, wrap hot dogs in dough up to a day in advance and refrigerate; add 2-3 minutes to baking time.
