Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs and Wrapping
- 8 ounces Crescent roll dough
- 8 Hot dogs
Decorations
- Candy eyeballs
- Optional: Mustard or ketchup (for sticking eyeballs)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Cut Dough Into Strips: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice each triangle into thin strips approximately 1/4 inch wide to make wrapping easier.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Take one hot dog and start wrapping it with the crescent roll strips, leaving a small gap near the top to create the mummy’s face. Continue wrapping until fully covered.
- Repeat Wrapping: Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining hot dogs and crescent roll strips.
- Place in Air Fryer: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch to allow hot air circulation.
- Air Fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until the crescent roll is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool Slightly: Carefully remove the mummy dogs from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes to avoid burning.
- Add Eyes: Attach the candy eyeballs into the face gap using a small dab of mustard or ketchup if needed for adherence.
- Serve: Serve the mummy hot dogs warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard.
Notes
- Make sure not to wrap the dough strips too tightly, as they will expand while cooking.
- If candy eyeballs are unavailable, small dots of mustard or ketchup can be used to create eyes.
- For a spicier version, try using spicy or smoked sausage instead of regular hot dogs.
- Be careful when removing from the air fryer basket as they will be hot and crispy.
- These can be prepared in advance and rewarmed in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
