I can’t wait for fall – the cooler temperatures, color-changing leaves, pumpkins, etc. To help us get in the spirit, I asked Colin to help me make Mummy Dogs for dinner this week. He wasn’t interested in helping, though, so I forced James to help! While James didn’t want to help at first, he had fun and asked to make them again next week!
Mummy Dogs
Ingredients
- 1 package hot dogs
- 1 package Pillsbury croissants
- Sliced olives optional
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375
-
Open hot dog and croissant packages.
-
Lay the croissant dough out and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut it lengthwise into 10 pieces.
-
Wrap the dough around each hot dog. Make sure to stretch the dough slightly to completely cover hot dog.
-
Place the olives between the dough to make eyes.
-
Place the wrapped hot dogs on a cookie sheet & spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
-
Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown.
-
Serve and enjoy!

Very cute and they look easy to make.
These are so adorable! I love this recipe for cooking with my kindergartener who loves hot dogs and mummies. Perfect combination!
These are great – what a fun way to dress up a classic for Halloween. I love pigs in a blanket and this makes them fun.
Oh those are adorable!! I need to make those with my son.
My daughter would totally love to make those. Imagine in dipping them in ketchup “blood”! I love the olives for the eyes, too!
What a fun idea! So simple and cute.
Those are perfect for Halloween. It’s normally chaotic here trying to get everyone to eat something other than candy as we rush out to go trick-or-treating.
Oh this is such a fun idea. I’d love add this to my list of Halloween recipe ideas for this year. I can’t decide what to make.
I love kids in the kitchen recipes – so important to get them involved at a young age. This is a great fall recipe!
These are so fun to do with kids! I did them last year with my kids.
These are super cute, I love making mini mummy hotdogs too!!!
