Scroll down for the full recipe card containing a full printable recipe and measurements in both US customary and metric units.

Making these Halloween Mummy Dogs is scarily easy if you follow these simple instructions.

Preheat Your Air Fryer

Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating gives you that perfect crispy texture right from the start, so don’t skip this step!

Prepare the Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.

A white plate with a triangular piece of dough and four long, thin strips of dough, perfect for crafting Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Dogs, rests on a gray surface. — Slice each triangle dough into thin strips, about ¼ inch wide.

Now, here’s where the fun begins—use a knife or pizza cutter to slice each triangle into thin strips, about ¼ inch wide. These strips are going to be the “bandages” that give your hot dogs that spooky mummy look.

Wrap the Hot Dogs

Take one hot dog and start wrapping it with a crescent roll strip. Leave a small gap for the face—this is where the eyes will go later. Wrap it up as if you’re dressing it for Halloween!

Repeat the process with the rest of your hot dogs until they’re all mummified and ready for the air fryer.

Air Fry the Mummies

Place your wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket. Make sure they’re not touching each other so they cook evenly. Air fry for 5-7 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and deliciously crispy.

Add the Eyes

Carefully remove the mummy dogs from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. This is the fun part—place the edible eyeballs in the gap you left for the face.

If the eyes need a little help sticking, just dab a tiny bit of mustard or ketchup on the back.

Serve and Enjoy

Your mummy dogs are ready to be devoured! Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard, and watch them disappear faster than a ghost at midnight.

Recipe Notes and Expert Tips

Here’s some extra tips so you can make your Mummy Dogs perfect for you.

Slice Evenly: Try to cut your crescent dough strips evenly so each mummy has a nice, consistent wrap.
Space Them Out: Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket—give each mummy some space to get that perfect crispiness.
Keep an Eye on Time: Different air fryers can cook at slightly different rates, so start checking a minute or two early to make sure your mummies don’t overcook.
DIY Eyes: If you can’t find edible eyeballs, improvise with small olive slices or a dot of mustard for a spooky alternative.
Batch Cooking: If your air fryer is on the smaller side, cook the mummies in batches so they all turn out perfectly crispy.
Flavored Dough: Want to mix it up? Try using garlic or herb-flavored crescent rolls for a little extra flavor.
Serve Immediately: These mummy dogs are best when served right away, while the crescent rolls are warm and flaky.

How to Store Leftover Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Dogs

Got leftovers? (Though, honestly, these tend to disappear quickly!) Place the cooled mummy dogs in an airtight container and pop them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just reheat in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 3-4 minutes to bring back that crispy goodness.

Unfortunately, this recipe isn’t the best for freezing—crescent rolls can get a bit soggy when reheated from frozen.

What to Serve With Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Dogs

These mummies are fun on their own, but they’re even better with some tasty sides! Serve them with a variety of dipping sauces—ketchup, mustard, or even a spicy sriracha mayo.

For a full-on Halloween feast, add a side of crispy fries, a fresh green salad, or even some “bloody” marinara sauce for dipping. Want to get extra spooky? Serve with a side of guacamole and call it “slimy sauce”!
