Spooky & Crispy: Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs for a Ghoulish Feast

Halloween is the perfect time to embrace the fun and chaos of kitchen chaos, and these Mummy Hot Dogs do just that. They turn the classic hot dog into a mini horror scene, wrapped in pie crust like little mummies rising from their crypts. The irresistible aroma of baked dough mingling with smoky sausage creates a nostalgic feeling mixed with a eerie vibe.

I love how these snacks are a quick, no-fuss project that sparks creativity. They are perfect for playful parties or a simple family dinner with a spooky twist. Plus, they make me nostalgic for my childhood Halloweens, where every bite felt like a tiny adventure. You don’t need special skills—just some hot dogs, puff pastry, and a dash of spooky spirit.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

  

• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 1 sheet phyllo or puff pastry thawed if frozen
• 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash

Equipment

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Knife
• Rolling pin
• Pastry brush

Method

 

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth it out and make it slightly thinner, then cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide.
3. Wrap each hot dog with a strip of pastry, leaving a small gap at the top for the ‘head’, and tuck the edges underneath to secure.
4. Use additional pastry strips to create bandage effects by layering or crisscrossing, leaving a space at the top for the ‘face’.
5. Brush the pastry wraps lightly with the beaten egg to promote a golden, shiny finish.
6. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is crisp and golden, about 12-15 minutes, and the hot dogs are heated through.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
9. Serve warm for a fun, spooky snack that looks as playful as it tastes with crispy pastry and smoky sausage inside.
