Description

Air fryer mummy dogs are hot dogs wrapped in crescent dough strips, air fried until golden, and finished with candy eyes. A 3-ingredient Halloween lunch or party snack kids can help make.

Ingredients 

  • 8 hot dogs, or Johnsonville Beddar with Cheddar sausages
  • 8 ounces refrigerated crescent dough, or seamless crescent sheet
  • 16 candy eyes, or yellow mustard
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 large egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Cut the dough: Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams together. Cut it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
  • Wrap the hot dogs: Pat the hot dogs dry. Wrap 2 to 3 strips around each one, crisscrossing like bandages. Leave a small gap near one end for the face.
  • Prep the basket: Spray the air fryer basket. Place the mummy dogs in a single layer with space between them. Brush with egg wash, if using.
  • Air fry: Cook at 330°F for 6 to 8 minutes, until the dough is golden and cooked through. Work in batches if needed.
  • Add the eyes: Cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then press two candy eyes into each face gap. A dab of mustard helps them stick. Serve with ketchup and mustard.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp knife or pizza cutter
  • Pastry brush (optional)

Notes

  • Beddar Cheddar mummy dogs: Swap in Johnsonville Beddar with Cheddar, wrap the dough a little tighter, and check at 7 minutes.
  • Mini mummy dogs: Use cocktail franks and check at 5 minutes.
  • No candy eyes: Dot on eyes with yellow mustard after cooking.
  • Make ahead: Wrap, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add about 1 minute to the cook time.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat at 330°F for 2 to 3 minutes and add fresh eyes.
  • Air fryers vary, so start checking at 6 minutes.
