Print Recipe

A fun, spooky Halloween appetizer featuring mini hot dogs wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough with pretzel eyes, served with a tangy, sweet, and spicy mustard dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12–16 mini hot dogs (beef or turkey)
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • Small pretzel twists (for eyes)
  • 1/2 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Open the crescent roll dough and unroll it. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes if stiff. Separate into triangles.
  3. Pat mini hot dogs dry with a paper towel to prevent soggy bottoms.
  4. Place a mini hot dog at the wide end of a dough triangle and roll it up tightly, leaving ends slightly exposed for the mummy look. Repeat with all hot dogs.
  5. Break pretzel twists in half and place two pieces on top of each wrapped hot dog to serve as eyes. Press gently to adhere.
  6. Brush the tops of the mummies lightly with the egg wash mixture.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the dough is puffed and golden brown. Keep an eye on them after 15 minutes to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the pan.
  9. While mummies cool, whisk together mustard, mayonnaise, honey, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to make the spicy dip.
  10. Serve warm with the spicy mustard dip.

Notes

Pat hot dogs dry before wrapping to avoid soggy bottoms. If dough is too cold, it may crack; if too warm, it may stick. For a spicy kick, increase cayenne or add jalapeños. Can be frozen unbaked and baked from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to baking time.
