Ingredients List for Mummy Hot Dogs
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Mummy Hot Dogs
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a saucepan, place the hot dogs and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the hot dogs are warmed through. Drain.
Roll out the crescent dough on a clean surface and cut it into 8 pieces. Wrap each piece of dough around a hot dog, leaving gaps for “mummy” effect. The dough should overlap in places to mimic the bandages of a mummy.
Place a small dot of mustard on each mummy to create eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Use a toothpick or a spoon to make the features if necessary.
Arrange the mummies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and flaky.
Serve immediately and enjoy the spooky fun!
