It isn’t just sweets that get all of the holiday fun!

Lunch time can be a great source for Halloween entertainment with Mummy Dogs.

Hotdogs are layered with American cheese and then wrapped in crescent roll dough for a fun take on a childhood favorite.

Give the mummy dogs eyes with your preferred hotdog topping – mustard or ketchup.

Firecracker wasn’t interested in actually eating one of these hotdogs, he prefers his food to be plain, as-is, and without dipping in sauces. Knowing this preference, I showed him a couple of completed mummy dogs (pre-baked) and proceeded to cook his hotdog naked.

The mummy dogs weren’t wasted, though. I enjoyed two of them for my lunch! I wasn’t fully expecting to like melted cheese with my hotdog, but let me tell you – these crescent wrapped wieners were incredibly addicting!

Any trick-or-treater would be thrilled to eat a mummy dog before heading out for candy.
