Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and press the perforations to seal, forming one long rectangle.
Cut the dough into thin (¼-inch) slices.
Wrap the hot dogs with the dough slices, leaving space for the eyes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the mummies in the oven for 12-14 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
Once out of the oven, add a little ketchup to the back of the candy eyes and place them on the mummies to finish the spooky look.

Notes

For a fun twist, try giving the mummies just one candy eye for a cyclops look.
These mummies can be made in the air fryer if you prefer a quicker option.
Be sure to wrap the dough tightly around the hot dogs to prevent them from coming apart during baking.
If you don’t have candy eyes, you can use mustard or ketchup to create eyes.
