Whenever Holiday rolls around, these Mummy Hot Dogs are the first thing I think of making. I’m telling you, they’re the easiest and cutest snack out there. People think you’ve been busy for hours, but the whole thing takes just a few minutes. I love putting out a platter for a party, but they also work great as a fun dinner for the family before everyone runs out the door. It’s supposed to be one of those hot dog recipes for kids, but let’s be real, the grown-ups are always sneaking seconds.
Here’s What You Need
- 1 package (8 count) all-beef, chicken, or turkey hot dogs
- 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Edible googly eyes
- Ketchup and mustard, for serving

Putting Them Together
Step 1: Prepare the Bandages
Okay, first up, get your oven going at 375°F (190°C). Pop open that tube of crescent dough and unroll it. Your goal is to make one big rectangle, so just pinch together the seams where it wants to pull apart into triangles. Once you have your rectangle, grab a pizza cutter (it works best!) and slice the dough into a bunch of skinny little strips. Instant mummy bandages!
Step 2: Wrap Your Mummies
Now for the really fun part. Grab a hot dog and start wrapping it with your dough strips. Just wind them around, crisscrossing them and leaving some gaps so it looks like an old-school mummy. Remember to leave a little bare spot near the top for the face! And seriously, don’t try to make them neat. The more random and messy, the better they look. Just keep wrapping ’til all the hot dogs are cozy.
Step 3: Time to Bake
Line your little army of crescent roll hot dogs up on a baking sheet with some parchment paper. Make sure they aren’t touching, since they’ll puff up in the oven. Slide them in and bake ’em for about 10-13 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the dough is puffed up and golden.
Step 4: Bring Them to Life!
Pull them out and let them hang out on the pan for a minute. If you stick the eyes on when they’re scorching hot, they might slide right off. Use a teeny dot of mustard or ketchup to act like glue and press on the googly eyes. No googly eyes? No problem. Just use the tip of a mustard bottle to make two little yellow dots. Works just as well!
