Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the recipe at the bottom for quantities.
- Hot Dogs: You can use any brand of hot dog you prefer. I like to cut the hotdogs in half to make them cute and snack-size, but you can leave them whole if you want.
- Crescent Roll Dough: Choose any refrigerated crescent roll dough. You will need to press the perforations in the dough together so that the roll is in one large sheet.
- Candy Eyes: The eyes are what really make this dish fun, but if you don’t have any on hand you could use a dab of mustard instead.

How to Make This Recipe
Step 1: Press the perforations in the dough together, then use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into long ⅛” slices.
Step 2: Cut the hot dogs in half, then wrap the crescent roll dough pieces around the hot dog to make them look like mummy wraps.
Step 3: Bake the Mummy Pigs in a Blanket until brown, then add candy eyes to the hot dogs to complete the look!
Expert Tips
- Your hot dogs may shrink and the dough may expand as they cook. To help keep the dough on the hotdog, stretch it tightly as you wrap.
- You can also cook these in the air fryer. Lightly grease your basket and air fry for 7-10 minutes until golden brown.
