Easy Flaky Crescent Mummy Dogs Recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, or you can lightly spray with cooking spray, so that the sausages don't stick to the pan.
2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the tube of crescent roll dough. Divide the dough into 8 triangles and slice each triangle into ribbons (1/4-inch wide). Wrapping the hot dogs in these strips will create the mummy look.
3. Wrap the Mummies: Place a hot dog on a strip of dough and start wrapping the strips around to form mummies, leaving small gaps. Have remaining space at the top to include a face. 
4. Optional Cheese Addition: For more flavor, lay a shredded cheese strip along the hot dog before you roll in the dough. It will give your mummy dogs a surprise cheese inside.
5. Bake the Mummy Dogs: Add the hot dogs to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place on oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes until the crescent dough has a golden color and is puffed up.
6. Add the Eyes: When the hotdogs are cool enough to hold, use a tiny bit of mustard or ketchup to achieve eyes on the uncovered end of the link.
7. Serve: Enjoy these mummy dogs with your favorite dipping sauce such as ketchup, mustard, or cheese dip as a delicious and festive Halloween treat.

Tips and Variations:

1. Mini Mummy Dogs: Bite-sized hot dogs (cocktail sausages) are perfect to make these mini mummy dogs for any party or appetizers.
2. For Cheesy Mummies: Include a layer of shredded or sliced cheese in the crescent roll dough before wrapping around the hot dogs for a cheesier treat.
3. Creepy Eyes: For a more cartoon-style effect, place little edible candy eyes or even black olive dots on the mommy's face.
4. No Mummy Style Pigs in the Blanket: If you just want a basic everyday snack type, forego the whole mummy look and roll your hot dogs in some wider strips of dough for a classic pigs in a blanket version.
5. Plant-based Option: If you are a vegetarian, replace the regular hot dogs with plant-based or vegetarian sausages to make this recipe completely meat-free.
6. Dipping Sauces: This could be super fun if you served with good old Halloween-themed dips like blood (ketchup), slime (guacamole), or ghost cheese (ranch dressing).
