Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Mummy Pigs in a Blanket (2025)
Alright, get ready to have some spooky fun in the kitchen! Creating your own Mummy Pigs in a Blanket (2025) is super straightforward, and honestly, the messier you make the bandages, the cuter they look. Just follow these steps, and before you know it, you’ll have a whole army of adorable mummies ready to party! If you’re looking for more quick recipes to add to your repertoire, a beginner’s guide to quick keto dinners might be just the ticket.
Preparing the Crescent Dough for Your Mummy Pigs in a Blanket
First things first, let’s get that dough ready. Gently separate your crescent roll dough into those two rectangle shapes. Now, pinch those seams and perforations together really well so you don’t get any gaps later. Then, using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut each rectangle into about 10 thin strips. Think of them as your mummy’s bandages!
Wrapping the Hot Dogs: Bandaging Your Mummies
Grab one of those dough strips and wrap it around a mini hot dog, leaving a little bit of the top showing for the “face.” You can get creative here – crisscross the strips, leave gaps, whatever looks spookiest to you! Place your wrapped hot dogs about an inch apart on your baking sheet. They need a little space to puff up. For more fun ideas, check out how others make these hot dog mummies with honey mustard dip.
The Golden Bake: Cooking Your Mummy Pigs in a Blanket
Now for that beautiful golden glow! In a small little bowl, whisk together your egg and water. This is your magic potion for a perfect sheen. Lightly brush this egg wash all over the tops of your mummy wraps. Pop them into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). They only need about 10-15 minutes, so keep an eye on them. You’re looking for that perfect golden brown color – not too dark, not too pale!
Adding the Finishing Touches: Mummy Eyes
Once they’re out of the oven and cooled just a tiny bit, it’s time for the best part – the eyes! Take a toothpick dipped in a little Dijon mustard, and carefully dot on two little eyes on each mummy. It’s amazing how just two little dots can bring them to life!
Whipping Up the Perfect Dip for Your Mummy Pigs in a Blanket
And you can’t have mummy pigs without a killer dip, right? In another small bowl, just mix up the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, cider vinegar, and that optional dash of hot pepper sauce. Give it a good stir until it’s all combined and creamy. It’s so good, you might want to make a double batch! This dip is perfect for dunking, and you can find more tasty dip ideas in my guide to keto zucchini fries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mummy Pigs in a Blanket (2025)
Got questions about these goofy little guys? I’ve got answers! Making these crescent roll mummies is super simple, but sometimes you just want to know a little extra. Let’s make sure your baking adventure is spooktacular!
Can I use different types of hot dogs for my Mummy Pigs in a Blanket?
Absolutely! While the mini hot dogs are perfect for size, feel free to use regular-sized hot dogs and just wrap them with more dough strips. Cocktail wieners or even chicken dogs work great too!
How do I make the mummy bandages look more realistic for Mummy Pigs in a Blanket?
To get those mummy bandages looking extra spooky, try cutting your dough strips a little thinner and wrapping them in a more random, crisscross pattern. Don’t worry about being perfect – the more uneven, the more “bandaged” they look!
Can I prepare Mummy Pigs in a Blanket (2025) ahead of time?
You sure can! Wrap your hot dogs and place them on a baking sheet, cover them loosely with plastic wrap, and pop them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Bake them as usual, maybe adding a minute or two to account for them being cold.
Serving and Storing Your Spooky Creations
These Mummy Pigs in a Blanket (2025) are best served warm, straight from the oven, with that super yummy honey mustard dip on the side. They’re always a hit right away, but leftovers? Totally doable! Just let them cool completely, then zip them into an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for about 2-3 days. To reheat, pop them in a toaster oven or even a regular oven at around 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until they’re toasty and warm again. They’re also pretty tasty at room temp if you’re on the go!
