Say hello to an October favorite that’s almost too fun to eat! Flaky dough, beef hotdogs and cheese combine with some carefully applied mustard eyes for an extra-delicious dish: pigs in a blanket, Halloween-style. These spooktastic mummy dogs put crescent dough to good use as “wrappings,” creating an edible version of the classic Halloween ghoul. Keep things simple with the mustard, or unlock your inner artist to create party-ready Halloween mummy dogs that kids and adults will love.

PREP TIME : 15 mins
TOTAL TIME : 30 mins
Ingredients
- 8 oz. crescent roll sheet (or crescent roll dough)
- 8 hot dogs
- 2 thick slices pepper jack cheese
- Nonstick spray
- Yellow or honey mustard, for serving
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Open and unroll the crescent roll sheet onto a cutting board, with the long side facing you. Cut 1/4- to 1/2-inch wide strips cross-wise (or across the short side—you need 24 strips total).
2. Cut each slice of cheese into 4 long rectangles. Wrap one piece of cheese underneath one hot dog. Start with one strip of dough and wrap it around the cheese and hot dog like a mummy bandage. Continue with two more strips, pressing the end of the last strip together with the start of a new strip. Place cheese side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Repeat with all of the remaining hot dogs.
3. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before adding two little dots of mustard as eyes. Serve immediately.
