These air fryer mummy hot dogs with bacon are the perfect snack before going out to trick-or-treat or to have on hand while handing out candy. Hot dogs are wrapped in pre-cooked bacon and crescent roll dough and then cooked in the air fryer.

If you’re hunting for a spine-tingling treat to get you in the mood for Halloween festivities, you’ve come to the right haunted mansion! The Mummy Dogs are not only eerily cute but also scrumptiously tasty. They will be the talk of the tombstone and are perfect for a fun Halloween Party.

Air Fryer Mummy Dogs with Bacon

Mummy Dog Ingredients:

To make the mummy dogs, you will need the following:

• Canned crescent dough sheets – if you get the rolls, press the seams together to create a solid sheet
• Hot dogs – we used Nathan’s. They are long and skinny. You can use any hot dogs you prefer.
• Wilton candy eyes
• Ready-cooked bacon – you can also cook your own until done but still soft.

Tools needed:

• Air fryer

Mummy Dogs Instructions

Roll out that crescent roll dough on a parchment-lined cookie sheet like an ancient scroll. Use a knife or a pizza cutter to make the sheet into strips. You will need two strips for each hot dog. We got 22 strips out of 1 sheet.

Wrap a slice of bacon around each hot dog.

Wrap 1 strip of dough around each hot dog. Then, wrap a 2nd strip around the hot dog in a diagonal direction. Make it a little messy so it looks like a mummy unwrapping.

Spray the air fryer tray with cooking spray and lay each hot dog on the tray. Cook for 10 minutes, allowing enough time for the bacon to get crisp and the dough to cook properly.

When hot dogs are cooked, leave them to cool off in the air fryer or remove them from the air fryer and place on a rack to cool a bit. Add two candy eyes to each hot dog, carefully tucking them under and around the crescent roll dough. 

Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
