These Air Fryer Mummy Hot Dogs are a frightfully fun Halloween treat! Wrapped in crescent dough “bandages” and air-fried to golden perfection, they’re crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — and super easy to make. Great for kids’ parties or a spooky movie night!
🧂 Ingredients:
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash — optional)

👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into thin strips (about ¼ inch wide).
- Wrap each hot dog with dough strips, leaving a small space for the “face.”
- Brush with egg wash if you want a shiny golden finish.
- Air fry for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Add the eyes: use tiny dots of mustard or ketchup for the mummy’s “eyes.”
💡 Tips:

Ingredients
Scale
- 10 hot dogs
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent dough sheet
- 20 candy eyes
Instructions
-
Open the package of hot dogs and pat dry with a paper towel.
-
Unroll the crescent dough onto a cutting board and cut into 4 squares. Cut each square into 10 narrow strips lengthwise.
-
Wrap each hot dog with 4 strips of dough, stretching the dough a bit to wrap around the hot dog like mummy bandages. Leave a small area at the top open for the candy eyes.
-
Place the hot dogs in the air fryer, leaving space between each for air to flow. You will likely need to work in batches.
-
Air fry at 330 degrees (see notes) for 7-8 minutes or until crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through. Subsequent batches will take less time as the air fryer will be preheated at that point.
-
Remove the hot dogs from the air fryer and stick the candy eyes onto the hot dog to make the face.
Notes
- Serve with choice of dip, such as ketchup, mustard, coney sauce, or cheese sauce.
- If your air fryer does not go as low as 330 degrees, cook at the lowest temperature setting available (often 350) and check after 5 minutes.
- You may use squires of mustard or sliced green olives in place of candy eyes, if preferred.
