Since the other children are gone at school all day my toddler and I, Mattie have a blast cooking up some fun lunch ideas. All my other Halloween Recipe Ideas I have completed on my own before playing with the kids. I wanted to be sure we had some good photographs to share with you. Since Mattie took charge of this Halloween lunch idea, and did such a good job I wanted to share her fun mummy hotdogs with you. Sure I helped a little bit, but she was definitely in charge of the situation, and she is very excited that I am posting her creation on my blog! Go Mattie!
Mattie and I spent about an hour making these little mummy hotdogs. Mostly because we had to roll out the dough again, and again since she was having so much fun, lol. Either way creating fun lunch ideas like this is a great way to bond with my little girl. We always have fun, and she is getting pretty darn good too! You will see!
Mummy Hotdogs – Fun Halloween Lunch Idea Kids
Ingredients
- 1 package of hot dogs
- 1 can of crescent dinner rolls, or you can use a normal biscuit. That is what we used, and ours turned out great.
- Your favorite cheese (optional, we used slices of string cheese, and the left over string cheese we places inside the extra biscuits we had. It was a yummy cheesy biscuit)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 like you normally would for pigs in a blanket
- If you use Crescent Rolls you do not have to flatten the dough. If you decided to use biscuit’s like us you will need to roll the dough out, or flatten with your hand just a little before cutting into strips as shown above. I did all the cutting, lol.
- Next you will slice your cheese into the size pieces you would like to place on your hotdog mummies.
- Grab your hotdog and begin wrapping using the slices of dough that you just cut up. The hotdog should be covered as well as the cheese. I am sure you can tell by looking at the picture below that our cheese is NOT going anywhere. Mattie made sure of that. When wrapping be sure to leave a small opening so you can put two little eyes on your mummy.
- On an greased cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs with the cheese side facing down.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until a golden brown color, or until done.
- Then use mustard or ketchup and place two little dots for eyes.
Didn’t they turn out so good? Mattie did most of the wrapping, it was her project and I am so proud of her. Only 3 years old and already made her very own mummy hotdogs for our fun Halloween lunch, and we had so much fun doing it.
Enjoy your Mummy Hotdogs for a fun Halloween Lunch! I hope you have as much fun as we did!

What a cute idea! Kids are going to go nuts for this Definitely going to have to try this out.
I LOVE this. Could I please share it on my blog?
I will have to show this to my wife to give it a try for our daughter.
I am going to have to use this idea. I love the idea of wrapping the dogs like that, it’s so cute. It’s no longer just pups in a blanket, it’s mummy wraps. Cute!
This was a great lunch project to do with any kid and you are right to be p[\roud of the jb Mattie did with the wrapping of the hot dogs.
I’m getting a real kick out of these – so cute! And not that hard, just a little extra planning! This would be so much fun for when they have a few buddies over!
I am going to make these with my grandson’s they love cooking with NANA
I shared this with my daughter. My 4 yr old grandson is coming to stay with us the week ofoctober7th and I am going to make these with him. He loves to make things and put them together and he is at that great age where he enjoys just doing family things so this will surely be a hit.
Those little mummies are so adorable .They are just too cut to eat but I think they would be pretty tasty too.All said and done though I have to say you guys did an awesome job together.
Thanks Wanda and we had sooooooo much fun doing it lol…

What a fantastic fun idea for the kids, and adults alike. Can’t wait to see my Grandchildren to make these with them. Thank you!
Love this “mummy” idea !! 🙂 My kids think having hotdogs is like having a treat! I know they will flip out of their chairs when I present them these cute little dudes !! 🙂 Both my kids are SO EXCITED for Halloween, !! They will be begging for these the whole month of October I guarantee it ! Thanks for sharing this neat idea!
These are a great idea! My kids will love these. Pretty simple too.
What a cute idea……………………………..my grandkids will love them
Those look so delightfully gross and delicious! Your daughter is beautiful, lucky mama! Thanks for the ideas!
This is cute and junk food enough for the kids to love!
isn’t that the truth darn kids lol… so much fun I love doing things like this with my kids… I will be sad when they get too big
What a great idea! Thanks for the giggle 🙂
those mummy hotdogs are so cute! Love it 🙂
These are so awesome. I’ve seen them online here and there, but I have yet to try them!
I think my kids would really love them. Do you know if the bisciuts have red dye in them? I can’t give red dye to my son, and I know cresant rolls, at least pilsberry does!
PS. I can’t see what I’m typing, so please ignore any typos..can’t read cursive. :p
haha you are okay…. is it because the pink is so light? I am thinking about redoing my blog… for several reasons and that may be one to add I can see it but often wonder if everyone else can see it well
how cute is that. I would have never thought of something like this. Isn’t it fun though to play with your food! 🙂
Those are so cute. Your daughter did an excellent job making the mummies.
This is a cute idea – I love how you made the openings for the eyes with mustard and what a great way to share with your daughter – mine would love this, thanks for sharing!
Fun and easy lunch idea. I’d opt for the biscuits since I’m not a crescent roll fan, and i suppose one could dip these into some ketchup “blood” too.
These are soooo cute! We make the hot dog wraps with crescent rolls anyway. I bet we could cut the roll thinner and make these for Halloween. Thanks for the great idea!
see that was what I thought… we just made it fun, my kids always have fun with Halloween and this year I am here to be wit them so we are doing tons of fun stuff and sharing it all with you..
LOL! These are SO adorable! She’s very advanced for 3 – you must be doing something right. What a cutie she is! They are so proud when they make something and it comes out so nice like that. I’d like my grandkids to try this, thanks for the idea and the pix! (Enjoy her while she’s little!)
Lol, what a great idea! Kids would definitely love it! This would be great for a Halloween party at school!
