Ingredients
 

  • 8 oz crescent rolls (1 8-ounce can of refrigerated crescent rolls)
  • 2 ½ slices American cheese
  • 10 standard hot dogs
  • 20 candy eyes
  • Condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc.)

(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • If using pre-scored crescent rolls, roll them out and tear at the perforation (making 4 rectangles). If using a sheet of crescent rolls, unroll it and cut it into 4 rectangles.
  • With kitchen shears or a knife, cut each of the rectangles of dough into 10 thin strips. You should have 40 strips of dough.
  • Slice the cheese into quarters (and the last half slice into two halves).
  • Stack a slice of cheese on top of each hot dog. Then, wrap them up with the thin dough strips, crisscrossing to look like a wrapped mummy. The dough can be stretched slightly to cover the entire hotdog.
  • Leave space between the dough bandages to add a face or eyes to your mummy, if desired. (*See note).
  • Place the mummy hotdogs cheese-side-down on an ungreased baking sheet and spray the dough lightly with cooking spray.
  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 13-17 minutes, or until the dough is golden-brown. Remove from heat, add candy eyes, and serve with your favorite condiments.

Notes

  • If candy eyes are not an option, make your faces with ketchup and/or mustard!
  • You can make a mini-version by using Lil'smokies if desired.
  • Add candy eyes after baking or they will melt in the oven!
  • To store: Place leftover mummy dogs in a sealed airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or the freezer for up to 6 months.
  • To reheat: No need to thaw frozen mummies. Simply bake at 350°F (175°C) until hot, usually 4-5 minutes for refrigerated mummies and 20-25 minutes from frozen.
