Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- Mustard or ketchup for serving
- 2 candy eyes per mummy
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your Mummy on a Stick cooks evenly and gets a nice golden-brown color.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Carefully separate the dough into triangles as indicated on the package. You should have enough triangles to wrap around each hot dog.
- Take each hot dog and cut the crescent roll triangles into thin strips. Aim for about 1/4 inch wide strips. These will be used to wrap around the hot dogs to create the mummy effect.
- Starting at one end of a hot dog, wrap the strips of crescent roll dough around it, leaving small gaps to resemble bandages. Make sure to leave the ends of the hot dog exposed for a more authentic mummy look.
- Repeat the wrapping process for all 8 hot dogs, ensuring that each one is covered with the dough strips.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Once all the hot dogs are wrapped and on the baking sheet, place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- While the Mummy on a Stick is baking, prepare your serving condiments. You can use mustard or ketchup for dipping, or even create a fun mummy face with the condiments on the plate.
- When the Mummy on a Stick is done baking, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
- To finish, place two candy eyes on each mummy to give them a spooky look. You can use a little dab of mustard or ketchup to help the eyes stick if needed.
- Serve your Mummy on a Stick warm with mustard or ketchup on the side for dipping. Enjoy your fun and festive treat!
Tips
- Dough Perfection: For the most authentic mummy wrapping, cut your crescent roll strips thin and slightly uneven to mimic real bandage texture.
- Eye Placement: Use small dots of mustard or ketchup as "glue" to make your candy eyes stick perfectly.
- Even Baking: Rotate your baking sheet halfway through cooking to ensure all mummies get that golden-brown color evenly.
- Kid-Friendly Prep: Let children help wrap the hot dogs for a fun family cooking activity.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare these up to the point of baking and refrigerate for a few hours before cooking, making party prep a breeze!Pro Tip: For extra spooky presentation, serve on a platter with some fake cobwebs or alongside a "bloody" marinara dipping sauce!
