Shopping list
This is a 4-ingredient recipe that comes together quickly. Think of it as a Halloween twist on classic pigs in a blanket.
To buy:
- Hot dogs – Regular hot dogs work well; cheese-filled varieties add a gooey surprise.
- Crescent roll dough – Unroll and slice into thin strips to make the mummy wraps.
- Candy eyes – Any size or style you find; one or two eyes per mummy looks great.
- Ketchup – Use a small drop to secure the eyes, and serve extra for dipping. Mustard can be used for eyes if preferred.
Additional supplies:

- Pizza cutter or kitchen scissors – Makes cutting thin dough strips faster and neater.
- Large cookie sheet – Use a size that fits how many mummies you plan to bake.
How to Make Halloween Mummy Dogs
Easy recipes are a great way to get kids involved. With supervision during oven use, most children can help with the assembly.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Unroll the crescent dough and press the perforations together to create one rectangular sheet. Cut the dough into thin strips using a pizza cutter or scissors.
Begin at one end of each hot dog and wrap strips of dough around it, leaving small gaps so the hot dog peeks through and creates the mummy look.
Tip: Crescent rolls will expand as they bake, so leave a little space between wraps to get the best effect. Trim any excess dough or tuck it under the end of the hot dog.
Place the wrapped hot dogs on a prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns golden brown.
After baking, use a tiny dab of ketchup to attach candy eyes. Serve immediately while warm.
These crescent mummy dogs are one of the simplest Halloween recipes to make for a party appetizer or a fun Halloween night dinner.
They pair nicely on a platter with other treats and are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.
