- You can use puff pastry dough for this recipe.
- Have a few different dipping sauce available like ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauce.

Directions to Make Mummy Hot Dogs
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice each triangle into thin strips (about 1/4 inch wide).
Wrap the Hot Dogs: Take one hot dog and start wrapping it with a crescent roll strip, leaving a small gap for the face. Continue wrapping until the hot dog is covered, resembling a mummy. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and crescent roll strips.
Air Fry the Mummy Dogs: Place the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other. Air fry at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Add the Eyeballs: Remove the mummy dogs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Place the edible eyeballs in the gap you left for the face. If needed, you can use a tiny bit of mustard or ketchup to help the eyeballs stick.
Serve the mummy dogs warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or cheese dip.
