Servings: 8, Prep Time: 10 minutes, Cook Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 can Crescent rolls
• 8 Hot dogs
• 16 Edible eyeballs

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. 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).
3. 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.
4. 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°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
5. 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.
6. Serve: Serve the mummy dogs warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard.

FAQs

Q: Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls? A: Yes, you can use puff pastry. Just make sure to cut it into thin strips and follow the same wrapping and cooking instructions.

Q: Can I make these in advance? A: You can prepare the mummy dogs ahead of time and refrigerate them. However, for best results, air fry them just before serving to keep the crescent rolls crispy.

Q: What can I use if I can't find edible eyeballs? A: If edible eyeballs are not available, you can use small pieces of black olives, dots of mustard, or even small candy eyes.

Q: Can I cook these in a regular oven? A: Yes, bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Variations

1. Cheesy Mummy Dogs: Add a slice of cheese between the hot dog and the crescent roll for a gooey, cheesy surprise.

2. Spicy Mummy Dogs: Use spicy hot dogs or add a thin layer of spicy mustard before wrapping them in the crescent rolls.

3. Mini Mummy Dogs: Cut the hot dogs in half and use half the amount of crescent dough for bite-sized mummies, perfect for parties.

4. Vegetarian Mummy Dogs: Use vegetarian or vegan hot dogs to cater to dietary preferences.

5. Sweet Mummy Dogs: For a dessert version, wrap crescent roll strips around chocolate bars or bananas and skip the edible eyeballs.
