Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs and Wrapping
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 ounces crescent roll dough
Decorations
- candy eyeballs, as needed
- optional: mustard or ketchup to help eyeballs stick
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking temperature.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles to create individual wrapping strips.
- Slice Dough into Strips: Using a knife or pizza cutter, carefully slice each triangle into thin strips approximately 1/4 inch wide for mummy bandages.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Wrap each hot dog with the dough strips, leaving a small gap for the face area, creating the look of mummy wrappings.
- Repeat Wrapping: Continue wrapping all remaining hot dogs in the same manner until all are covered.
- Arrange for Air Frying: Place the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch for even cooking.
- Air Fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until the crescent roll dough turns golden brown and is cooked through.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the mummy dogs from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes so they can be handled safely.
- Add Eyeballs: Attach candy eyeballs to the face gap using a small dab of mustard or ketchup if needed.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup or mustard.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Use refrigerated crescent roll dough for easier handling and better texture.
- For a spicier twist, try adding a little mustard inside before wrapping the hot dogs.
- Candy eyeballs can typically be found at craft or baking stores, especially during Halloween season.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture, as the crescent roll can become soggy over time.
