Best size hot dogs to use for Halloween mummy hot dogs?

For the mummy dogs shown here, I used classic Oscar Mayer hot dogs. I recommend thinner wieners, not thick or jumbo ones. For slightly longer appetizers, use a brand like Nathans or Hebrew National.

Difference between hot dog fingers and mummy dogs?

When crescent-wrapped hot dogs come out of the oven they're known as "hot dog fingers." But once you attach candy eyeballs to them, they become "mummy dogs."

How to make cheesy mummy dogs or cheesy hot dog fingers?

Quarter 2 1/2 slices American cheese. Place a piece of cheese beneath each wiener. Wrap with strips of dough to create mummy bandages.

Can you make mummy dogs ahead of time?

Yes! You can make them a day in advance. Place pre-assembled appetizers in an air-tight container and refrigerate. When ready to use, place them on a cookie sheet and bake. Then add the candy eyes.

Ingredients

Scale

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough sheet
16 hot dogs
20 edible candy eyeballs
Mustard (to glue on eyes)
Ketchup, for dipping

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

RECIPE PREP: Adjust oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 375°F.

Unroll the crescent dough on a clean work surface. With your fingers, gently pull it into a rectangle.
With a sharp knife or pizza wheel, slice the dough into thin strips. Work with the shorter side of the rectangle.
Pat each hot dog dry between paper towels to remove moisture. Wrap strips of dough around each hot dog in a criss-cross pattern like mummy bandages. Slightly stretch the strips as you go. This will prevent the dough from becoming overly puffed up when baking. Tuck loose ends underneath the hot dog. At one end, leave a space for the eyes.
Transfer the mummy dogs to a baking tray, leaving room between each. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden blonde.
