Welcome to My Haunted Little Home Kitchen

There’s something magical about mixing a little spooky fun into everyday family life. Whether it’s a cozy October night or you just want to make dinner feel like a haunted movie marathon, these Mini Hot Dog Mummies are the perfect bite-sized treat.

They’re creepy (but cute), quick to make, and guaranteed to make your little ghouls giggle. Think of them as the mummy-approved version of pigs in a blanket — easy enough for weeknights, festive enough for your next haunted house party.

🎃 The Mummy Recipe

🕯️ Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

  • 8 hot dogs (any kind — beef, turkey, or veggie!)

  • 1 slice of cheese (optional, for “mummy guts”)

  • Ketchup or mustard for decorating the eyes

  • A sprinkle of spooky excitement

🕸️ Instructions

  1. Preheat the cauldron (oven) to 375°F / 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so your mummies don’t stick to their tombs.

  2. Unroll your dough scrolls. Press the seams together gently so it forms one big rectangle.

  3. Slice into bandages. Cut thin strips — about ¼ inch wide — for wrapping your little monsters.

  4. Wrap the mummies:

    • Optional: Lay a thin slice of cheese on each hot dog for extra gooey “guts.”

    • Then wrap dough strips around each one, leaving a little space for the face.

  5. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown and perfectly spooky.

  6. Add the eyes: Use a toothpick dipped in ketchup or mustard to dot on tiny mummy eyes. Watch them come to life!

🕯️ Witchy Mom Tip

Make a bubbling “Potion Dip” for your mummies! Mix ketchup with a bit of BBQ sauce or honey mustard — your kids will love guessing the “secret ingredients.”

Serve with apple slices, carrot sticks, or spooky-shaped pretzels for a full haunted snack platter.
