Mummy Pigs in a Blanket are a fun Halloween twist on a classic hot dog recipe. Kids and adults will love this spooky (but cute) Halloween recipe.

Instead of a bun, hot dogs are wrapped in crescent roll dough and baked in the oven. Candy googly eyes bring these mummy dogs to life!

Mummy Pigs in a Blanket Ingredients

For this easy Halloween recipe, you need only 3 ingredients (see the recipe card below for exact amounts):

• Crescent rolls: If you can find crescent roll sheets, those work even better!
• Hot dogs: I cut the hot dogs in half to make them more bite-sized and party friendly but this is totally optional.
• Candy eyes: If you don’t have candy eyes, you can pipe ketchup or mustard eyes onto the hot dogs.

How to Make Mummy Dogs

1. Heat your oven to 375F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and press the perforations to seal it into one long rectangle. Cut into thin (¼” thick) slices.
3. Wrap the hot dogs with the crescent dough (make sure to leave a space for the eyes) and place them on the baking sheet.
4. Bake until the dough becomes golden brown- about 12-14 minutes.
5. Right when the mummies come out of the oven, add a little ketchup to the back of the eyes and place the candy eyes on the mummies.

Recipe Tips

• Give the mummy dogs only one eye for a fun cyclops look!
• You can make pigs in a blanket in the air fryer.
• The crescent rolls expand and the hot dogs can shrink when cooked, so be sure to stretch and wrap the dough tightly around the hot dog.
• Leave the hot dogs whole for a perfect kid-size meal.

How to Serve Halloween Pigs in a Blanket

Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and classic condiments like ketchup and mustard. If you want something super flavorful, try my Yum Yum Sauce. I like to make a Halloween spread of finger foods including fruit kabobs, cream cheese pinwheels, and pizza rolls.

Storage Instructions

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
