Ingredients:

One package of hotdogs, approximately 8–10 pieces

One can of puff pastry or crescent roll dough

Edible candy eyes, mustard, or ketchup for decoration

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Adjust the temperature to 375°F, or 190°C.
Prepare the Crescent Dough: Roll out the dough from the can after opening it.

Cut the dough into long, thin strips, about ¼ inch wide, with a knife or pizza cutter.
Wrap the Hotdogs: For the “mummy” look, begin wrapping the dough strips around each hotdog, leaving a few tiny gaps in between.

To make a “face” where the eyes will go, be sure to leave a small space near one end of the hotdog.
Bake: Arrange the wrapped hotdogs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake the dough for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.

Add the Eyes: After baking, take the hotdogs out of the oven and give them a few minutes to cool. Next, fill in the space left by the face with two tiny drops of mustard or ketchup, or for added sweetness, use tiny edible candy eyes.
Serve: Arrange the Mummy Hotdogs onto a tray and accompany them with your preferred dipping sauce, such as mustard or ketchup.
