Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) can Crescent dough
- 3 slices American cheese
- 12 hot dogs
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- Dijon mustard (for eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Dough: Separate the crescent dough into 4 rectangles, pinching together any seams to prevent openings. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into thin strips.
- Cut Cheese: Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 thin strips that will fit over the hot dogs beneath the dough.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Place one hot dog on top of a strip of cheese and then wrap it with several crescent dough strips to resemble mummy bandages, using about 4 strips per hot dog. Repeat this process with all the hot dogs.
- Brush with Butter: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and brush the dough with melted butter to help with browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Add Eyes: After baking, use a toothpick to dot Dijon mustard onto each hot dog to create the mummy’s eyes, adding a fun finishing touch.
Notes
- This iconic Halloween snack is both spooky and delicious, perfect for parties or festive gatherings.
- Ensure the dough is wrapped snugly to prevent it from unraveling during baking.
- For a sharper cheese flavor, substitute American cheese with cheddar or pepper jack slices if desired.
- Use regular or vegetarian hot dogs to suit dietary preferences.
