Day 23: Spooky Snacks – Mummy Hot Dogs
Halloween snack ideas don’t get much easier—or more hauntingly fun—than Mummy Hot Dogs. These little wrapped wonders are a party staple for good reason: they’re kid-friendly, adult-approved, and devilishly simple to make.
Day 23 of our countdown is all about this classic Halloween snack recipe that looks spooky on the table but disappears frighteningly fast. Whether you’re hosting a full-blown murder mystery bash or just need a quick addition to your Halloween appetizers lineup, Mummy Hot Dogs are the perfect finger food to keep the party (and the mystery) alive.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry, sliced into strips)
- 8 hot dogs (any variety—classic, veggie, or cocktail-size for minis)
- Mustard or ketchup (for “mummy eyes”)
- Optional: shredded cheese, sesame seeds, or “blood” dipping sauces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll crescent dough and cut into thin strips (about ¼ inch wide).
- Wrap each hot dog with dough strips, leaving small gaps to look like mummy bandages.
- Place wrapped hot dogs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until dough is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly.
- Dot two tiny “eyes” on each mummy with mustard or ketchup.
Serving Tips
- Serve your mummies upright in a cauldron-style bowl for a dramatic reveal.
- Pair with spooky dipping sauces: “blood” (ketchup or sriracha), “slime” (guacamole), and “mystery mustard.”
- Create a snack station with other spooky food recipes—like deviled eggs turned into “eyeballs” or pretzel “witch fingers.”
Mystery Party Twist
At Night of Mystery, we’re all about making the whole party an immersive experience. Mummy Hot Dogs are perfect for your murder mystery party because:
- They’re bite-sized, meaning guests can nibble while still staying in character.
- Wrap them in different styles—some messy, some neat—and let guests joke about which “mummy” left the crime scene.
- For extra fun, add a hidden “victim” hot dog: one with a jalapeño slice or a spicy sauce inside. Whoever takes a bite uncovers a sinister surprise!
