Ingredients
  • 2 Hot Dogs
  • 1/4 sheet Ready-Made Puff Pastry or Crescent Roll Dough
  • small amount for eyes Mustard or Ketchup

Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the puff pastry or crescent roll dough. Cut it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. It's fine if they are uneven – it adds to the mummy effect!

Wrap the Hot Dogs

Wrap each hot dog with the dough strips, leaving a small gap near the top for the 'eyes'. Overlap the strips slightly, creating a layered, bandage-like appearance.

Bake the Mummies

Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.

Add Eyes

Once the mummies are slightly cooled, use a tiny dab of mustard or ketchup to create eyes in the gap you left at the top. You can also use edible candy eyes.

Alternative - No oven

Wrap the hot dog with cheese slices (like band) then add 2 small mustard drop like eyes
