HOW TO MAKE MUMMY DOGS

Welcome to a delightfully spooky kitchen adventure perfect for Halloween or any fun-filled gathering with family and friends! These Mummy Dogs are not only adorable but also incredibly easy to make, making them a hit with kids and adults alike. With just a few simple ingredients and some creativity, you’ll have a platter of cheesy, buttery mummy-wrapped hot dogs ready to delight your guests. Let’s dive into this fun and delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2½ slices American cheese
• 10 hot dogs
• Cooking spray
• Candy eyes

Instructions:

1. Heat your oven to 375°F.
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough. If using crescent rolls, separate them at the perforations to create 4 rectangles. Press the perforations to seal. If using dough sheets, simply cut them into 4 rectangles.
3. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough.
4. Slice the cheese slices into quarters.
5. Pair one hot dog with one cheese slice, then wrap 4 pieces of dough around them to resemble mummy wraps. Ensure to slightly stretch the dough to completely cover the hot dogs. Leave about ½ inch from one end of each hot dog uncovered to create the mummy’s face. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Place each wrapped hot dog on the baking sheet and lightly spray the dough with cooking spray.
8. Bake for 13 to 17 minutes or until the dough is light golden brown and the hot dogs are hot.
9. Once out of the oven, add two candy eyes to the face openings of each mummy dog.

Hot Tip: If you prefer, you can skip the candy eyes and get creative by adding a couple of dots of mustard or ketchup to the mummy dog where the eyes would go.

And there you have it, folks – your ticket to a spooktacular snacking experience! Whether you’re serving them up at a Halloween party, surprising your little ones with a fun after-school treat, or simply indulging in some playful kitchen creativity, Mummy Dogs are sure to leave a lasting impression.
