These Mummy Pigs in a Blanket are a fun and easy Halloween treat that even picky eaters will love. Made with hot dogs wrapped in crescent dough and topped with candy eyes, they’re perfect for parties and weeknight fun.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8-count) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 16 candy eyes
  • Optional: 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Let the crescent roll dough sit on the counter for about 5 minutes to come to room temperature.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean cutting board. If using perforated sheets, gently press the seams together to create one solid rectangle. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 strips lengthwise, each about half an inch wide.
  3. Wrap each hot dog with a strip of dough, starting at one end and working your way to the other. Leave a small gap about every half inch so the hot dog shows through. Don’t wrap too tightly. Tuck the end of the dough strip underneath the hot dog to secure it.
  4. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
  5. Brush each mummy with the egg wash (if using) for a golden-brown color.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the hot dogs are heated through.
  7. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet.
  8. Use a small dot of mustard (or ketchup) to attach two candy eyes to each mummy. Place them near the top, leaving a little space for the ‘face.’
  9. Serve warm. These are best within 15 minutes of coming out of the oven.

Notes

Let the crescent dough sit at room temperature for 5-7 minutes before cutting to prevent cracking. Don’t overwrap the hot dogs; leave small gaps for steam to escape. Use a toothpick to apply a tiny dot of mustard to the back of each candy eye for better control. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning. Assemble up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate; add egg wash and bake just before serving. Freeze unbaked mummies for up to 3 months; bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to baking time. Add eyes after baking to prevent melting.
