Easy Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Dogs

I make these Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Dogs every year because they're fast, cute, and guaranteed to make everyone smile. They're basically pigs in a blanket but dressed for Halloween.

Holiday snacks like this are my weakness. I love anything that looks like you spent all day making it when it really takes 15 minutes and a pack of crescent rolls.

You'll love these because there's no need for fancy tools, just your air fryer and a few easy ingredients. Perfect for kids, parties, or spooky nights in.

Things to Know Before Making Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Dogs

• Don't overcrowd the basket or the dough won't crisp up evenly.
• Use a little mustard or ketchup to help the candy eyes stick.
• If you don't have edible eyes, use tiny dots of mustard instead.
• Serve them warm for the best soft and golden texture.

These are one of my favorite "cute but lazy" Halloween recipes. They make the whole night feel festive without any stress.

Ingredients You'll Need

• Crescent rolls: The flaky, golden wrapper that makes these mummy dogs irresistible.

• Edible eyeballs: The fun finishing touch that brings the mummies to life.

Tools: Air fryer, knife or pizza cutter, parchment paper (optional for easier cleanup).

How to Make Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Dogs

Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Slice each into thin ¼-inch strips using a knife or pizza cutter.

Step 3: Wrap each hot dog with crescent roll strips, leaving a small space for the "face." Repeat for all hot dogs.

Step 4: Place the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch.

Step 5: Air fry at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6: Let cool for a couple of minutes, then add edible eyes using a dab of mustard or ketchup to stick.

Step 7: Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Substitutions and Variations

• Use veggie dogs or chicken sausages for a twist.
• Try puff pastry instead of crescent rolls for extra flakiness.
• Add thin cheese strips before wrapping for a melty surprise.
• Make mini versions using cocktail sausages.

What to Serve with Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Dogs

Pair them with pumpkin soup, Halloween-themed veggie cups, or a spooky punch for the perfect party spread. They also make a fun dinner when you want something festive and easy.

Storage and Freezing

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to bring back that flaky texture. Best served fresh.
