Looking for Halloween dinner ideas? Halloween recipes should be fun, and that is exactly what this recipe for Mummy Dogs is.

Sure to be a hit with the kids, these mummy dogs are made with refrigerated crescent dough (you can use low fat if you prefer) and hot dogs. Indeed, this recipe is a snap to prepare, and it is even more fun to eat!

Serve these Mummy Dogs with crunchy spiders (really, who wouldn't like those?), vampire blood punch, black bean dip with homemade tortilla chips and pumpkin cookies with Raisinets for a Halloween-themed dinner both the ghouls and guys will love. (Get it? Ghouls and guys? Okay, thankfully, this is a recipe and not an audition for Comedy Central.)

They are just to die for!



Mummy Dogs Recipe

* 1 package (8 count) refrigerated crescent rolls (low fat is fine)
* 8 reduced-fat kosher hot dogs (or hot dogs with no nitrates)
* mustard

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Unwrap refrigerated crescent rolls. Divide crescent rolls into eight triangles. Pulling the dough taut, wrap it around a hot dog, making it look like the bandages on a mummy. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and crescent rolls. Place on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are cooked through.

Remove from oven and place two mustard dots at the end of each hot dog mummy for eyes. Serve immediately.

Makes 8 mummy dogs.
