Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 10 hot dogs
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent dough sheet
- 20 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare Hot Dogs: Open the package of hot dogs and pat each dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture for better dough adherence.
- Cut Dough Strips: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean cutting board. Cut the sheet into 4 squares, then slice each square lengthwise into 10 narrow strips to create a total of 40 strips for wrapping.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Take each hot dog and wrap it with 4 dough strips, stretching the dough slightly as you wrap to create the look of mummy bandages. Leave a small area near the top uncovered so you have space to place the candy eyes later.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is enough space between them to allow air circulation. Work in batches if your air fryer cannot fit all at once.
- Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 330°F (165°C) and cook the hot dogs for 7-8 minutes until the crescent dough is golden brown and completely cooked through. Note that subsequent batches may require less time as the air fryer will be preheated.
- Add Candy Eyes: Carefully remove the mummy hot dogs from the basket and immediately stick two candy eyes onto the exposed dough area near the top to create a spooky mummy face.
Notes
- Only three ingredients are needed to make this festive Halloween-themed snack.
- The total preparation and cooking time is about 10 minutes, perfect for a quick party appetizer.
- Make sure to leave space between hot dogs in the air fryer for even cooking and crispy dough.
- You can work in batches if your air fryer isn’t large enough to cook all 10 at once.
