Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces cocktail sausages (mini hot dogs)
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 48 pieces edible candy eyes
- 0.25 cup ketchup or mustard (optional for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean work surface and press any perforations to seal, creating one solid sheet of dough.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice thin strips of dough, about 1/4 inch wide.
Take one cocktail sausage and wrap the dough strips around it, overlapping slightly to create a 'mummy wrap' look. Leave a small gap near one end for the face to be visible.
Repeat with the remaining sausages and dough strips, placing each wrapped sausage onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Lightly brush the egg wash over the dough to give it a golden sheen when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the Mummy Dogs from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, place two edible candy eyes on the exposed 'face' of each mummy, using a tiny dab of ketchup or mustard to stick them in place if necessary.
Serve the Mummy Dogs warm with ketchup or mustard for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your spooky yet adorable creation!
