Ingredients
  

Mummy Hot Dogs
  • 1 can crescent dough sheets or easy crescent roll dough
  • 2.5 slices American cheese optional
  • 10 hot dogs
  • 1 cooking spray or melted butter 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 mustard or ketchup for eyes
  • 1 googly eyes
Spider Web Dipping Sauce
  • 1 mustard drizzled over ketchup
  • 1 ketchup

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Cutting board
  • Pizza Cutter

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Separate the crescent roll dough sheets. Lay them flat on a cutting board. Press the sheets together to form 4 squares of dough, sealing the perforated seams. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
  3. If using cheese, slice each of the 2.5 slices into 4 strips.
  4. Place a hot dog onto a strip of cheese (if using). Wrap the hot dog and cheese together with a dough strip, leaving a small space at the top for the eyes. You can stretch the dough for thinner mummy bandages or use less for thicker ones. Place the wrapped hot dog onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs.
  5. Spray the mummy dogs with cooking spray or brush them with melted butter.
  6. Bake for 12-20 minutes, or until the hot dogs are hot and the dough is golden brown. My mummy dogs took 16 minutes to bake.
  7. To make the eyes, use mustard or ketchup to create two dots on the “face” area of each hot dog. Gently press googly eyes onto the dots.
  8. Serve your Cheese-Stuffed Mummy Dogs immediately. For the spider web dipping sauce, drizzle mustard over ketchup in a spider web pattern.

Notes

For easier, less messy mummy dogs, refer to the tips in the original post. Note that cheese may melt and spread, giving the mummies a slightly messy appearance. The final photos in the original post do not include cheese.
