This easy Mummy Dogs recipe is made with hot dogs and crescent roll dough for a quick Halloween dinner. Kids of all ages love these super cute mummy hot dogs!

I’ve been making basic crescent mummy dogs for Halloween dinner and Halloween parties since my kids were babies, or at least, since they were old enough to eat solid food. Okay, so maybe that’s exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea.

You’ve heard of mummy dogs, right? They’re just your basic hot dog wrapped in strips of refrigerated crescent dough and baked until the hot dogs are done and the dough is golden brown and slightly puffy.

When they’re done, these little Halloween hot dogs resemble mummies and are actually super cute!

Ingredient Notes

You only need 3 simple ingredients to make crescent roll mummy dogs for Halloween. Full amounts are listed in the printable recipe card below.

Hot dogs — use your favorite brand
Refrigerated crescent dough
Candy eyeballs — you can use dots of mustard, if you want

How to Make Mummy Dogs

All you have to do is cut the crescent dough into thin strips — a pizza cutter works great for this. But, you can use a knife or simply tear the dough by hand. Then, wrap the strips around each hot dog, and bake. When the crescent dogs are done, use a dab of mustard or ketchup to affix the candy eyes to the dough. Press lightly to make sure the eyes stick.

Recipe Tips

Let the kids help prepare this fun Halloween meal. They love helping!

If you use mustard instead of candy eyes, you can leave a space for the mummy’s face.

The candy eyes need to stick to something. If you are using them, wrap the the face with crescent dough.

I do recommend lining your baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper before baking for easy clean-up.

Aren’t they cute?!

Variations

Cheesy mummy dogs – add thin strips of cheese over the hot dogs before you wrap them in dough.

Sriracha mummy dogs – Sometimes, we brush the hot dogs with sriracha sauce or hot sauce before baking for a spicy version.

Mini mummy dogs – Cut your hot dogs in half or, you can use little smokies instead of hot dogs.

Use kielbasa, or different types of sausage if you want! You can even use fish sticks or chicken strips!

Storage, Reheating and Make Ahead

Store any leftover mummies in an airtight container or storage bag in the refrigerator. You can reheat them in the oven or air fryer for best results. The dough will get soft if you use the microwave. You can make the mummies an hour or two ahead of time, and store them in the fridge before baking.
