These mummy hot dogs take 35 minutes to prepare and can be a quick Halloween party appetizer or other dish when you don't have a lot of time․ Arms and legs are cut out of hot dogs‚ then crescent roll dough strips are wrapped around the hot dogs before baking until golden brown to look like mummies․
The recipe uses 10 hot dogs and one can of crescent rolls․ Cutting hot dogs before rolling them with crescent rolls will help you shape them like arms and legs․ Cutting hot dogs is not necessary to make this recipe‚ but doing so will make the final product resemble arms and legs․ Use a sawing motion or pizza cutter to slice crescent dough strips from the unrolled can․
Work with one hot dog strip at a time․ Wrap dough around the strip forming a body first‚ then wrap arms and legs separately․ Arranged on a greased baking sheet‚ bake each formed hot dog․ Repeat the process to complete all hot dogs․ The goal is to achieve a golden-brown‚ fully cooked exterior․ Problems to watch out for are wrapping arms and legs too tightly with dough so you can't see them when separating․
Allow baked hot dogs to rest for a few minutes before serving them․ Ketchup and mustard are recommended condiments for baked hot dogs in the article․ Offer ketchup and mustard on the side to accompany baked hot dogs․ One roll is said to be enough for 10 mummy dogs; you could fit 12 mummy dogs on a single roll by using less dough for each hot dog․
