Ingredients

  • 8 Hot dogs
  • 1 package Crescent Roll Dough unrolled
  • 16 candy eyes optional
  • ½ teaspoon honey optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350F for at least 3 minutes, or according to your manufacturers instructions.
  • Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut a single triangle into long, thin strips.
  • Wrap the strips in a "mummy" style pattern around the hot dog. Leave a space for the eyes. Repeat, using 1 triangle of cut dough per hot dog, until all of the hot dogs have been wrapped.
  • Cook your hot dogs in the air fryer for 5-8 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden and puffy, and the hot dog is warmed throughout. If you have a small air fryer, you will need to work in batches. Refrigerate the wrapped hot dogs in between batches.
  • Remove the mummy dogs from the air fryer using a pair of tongs.
  • If using the candy eyes, dot the back of the candy eye with a small bit of honey and wedge into the space left for the eyes. See the "notes" section for alternative eye suggestions.
  • Cool for 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Suggestions for eyes:
  • Candy eyes: Dot the back of the candy eye with honey and wedge it into the "eye hole" portion of the wrapped mummy dog. Do this immediately after baking or air frying.
  • Mustard eyes: Once they have cooled down, add two dots of mustard with a toothpick
  • Chocolate chip eyes: dot the back of the chocolate chips with honey and wedge it into the "eye hole."
  • Gel eyes: Add dots of gel icing (black would work best) after the hot dogs have cooled.

  • Oven Instructions:
    If you don't have an Air Fryer, you can still make this delicious and fun Halloween treat! Just preheat your oven to 375F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare the mummy dogs as directed, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-18 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is puffy, golden, and baked through.
    Cool for 5 minutes, then serve.
