Dry the hot dogs: Pat them with paper towels to remove moisture.
Prepare the dough: Roll out the crescent dough and seal the seams.
Cut the strips: Slice the dough into ¼ inch wide pieces.
Wrap the mummies: Criss-cross the dough strips around each hot dog, leaving a space for eyes.
Bake until golden: Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake until golden.
Add the eyes: Use mustard to stick candy eyes onto each mummy.

Substitutions and Variations

Use a different dough: Swap the crescent dough for puff pastry strips. Biscuit dough would also work in this Halloween party recipe. Just flatten it and then roll it out using your rolling pin, then cut it into strips with a pizza cutter.
Make it gluten free: Use gluten free crescent dough or wrap in gluten free tortilla strips.
Add cheese: Wrap a slice of cheese around the hot dog before the dough for extra flavor.
Use veggie dogs: A great option for vegetarian or plant-based versions.
