🤡 Creepy questions answered (FAQ's)
You can use a dot of mustard or ketchup to glue the eyes into these dogs.
You can order candy eyes online, or you can pick them up at your local grocery store in the baking aisle or craft store.
Yes, you will still need to cut the dough sheets into small strips.
🧟 Deb's trick-or-treat tips
Don't add the eyes until these adorable crescent-wrapped mummy dogs are baked. The heat of the oven will cause the eyes to ooze. Additionally, if you refrigerate the frankfurters with the eyes on them, they soften. Remove them before storing them.
- I like to use a pizza cutter to cut the strips of dough, however, you can use a sharp knife instead if you prefer.
- If you don't want to line your cookie sheet with parchment paper you can use nonstick cooking spray instead or even a silicone baking mat.
- Are you using regular crescent rolls? Don't forget to press perforations closed before you start to cut the strip of dough.
👹 Keep your mummies fresh: storage
Refrigerate - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, be sure to remove the eyes before refrigerating.
Freezer - You can freeze these for up to three months. Allow them o thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheat - To reheat, simply place on a baking sheet and heat at 375 degrees until warmed through. You can also heat it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
