These easy cheesy mummy hot dogs are a fun and delicious Halloween snack made with hot dogs, string cheese, and crescent roll dough. Ready in under 25 minutes, they’re perfect for parties, movie nights, or a spooky weeknight treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 hot dogs (beef, turkey, chicken, or plant-based)
  • 4 string cheese sticks (mozzarella, cheddar, or provolone), each cut in half crosswise
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • Mustard (yellow or Dijon) for the eyes
  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a cutting board. Separate into 8 triangles if perforated. Cut each triangle lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/2-inch wide (4-5 strips per triangle).
  3. Cut each string cheese stick in half crosswise to make 8 pieces, each about 2 inches long.
  4. Assemble the mummies: Place a piece of string cheese at one end of a hot dog, pressing gently. Starting at that end, wrap a strip of dough around the hot dog and cheese, overlapping slightly. Leave a small gap near the top of the cheese for the mummy’s face. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and cheese.
  5. Place wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the dough strips lightly with melted butter.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Using a toothpick, dab small dots of mustard onto the exposed cheese to create eyes.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and cheesy.

Notes

For best results, use full-size hot dogs and firm string cheese. If dough strips unroll, tuck the end under the hot dog on the baking sheet. For a golden finish, brush with melted butter before baking. Add mustard eyes after baking for best presentation.
