Get ready to thrill with these Halloween Mummy Dogs – perfect for kids before, during or after trick or treating, especially when dipped in ketchup. And since we are here let’s take a trip down memory lane to Halloweens past…
From last year’s post for Halloween Mummy Dogs:
Are you ready for Halloween? Just a week away and we are all getting very excited. Rémy is a Ghostbuster (obviously) and Minty’s costume is yet to be classified – from Cruella de Vil to Margot Tenenbaum to Eleven – who knows who she will decide upon. The big dilemma facing them is that Halloween falls on a Monday and they feel they should be given the day off on Tuesday! Any excuse for this Mummy to post past Halloween costumes…

Halloween Mummy Dog Recipe
Here’s our go to favorite Halloween snack – The Mummy Dog – inspired by Ree Drummond, AKA The Pioneer Woman and her fabulous book – The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays: 140 Step-by-Step Recipes for Simple, Scrumptious Celebrations
Ingredients
Basic dough or store-bought puff pastry
8 Organic Turkey dogs
Milk or egg wash
Instructions
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough and then cut into thin strips using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
2. Take one strip of dough and start by placing it over the top of the ‘head’ of the frankfurter – going up and over before you start wrapping around, criss-crossing as you go. Leave a gap for the face. I used two strips per dog. Use a little water to stick the ends down.
3. Wrap all the dogs and line up on a baking wrack. Use a little milk or egg to lightly brush the mummies.
4. Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a plate.
5. Dot two little mustard eyes – either use the nozzle on the mustard bottle or a tooth pick.
If you have anyone like Rémy in the house they will be unable to wait for the mummies to cool down – here he is decorating the mummies with ketchup – “for blood Mummy!” Then he bites into a piping hot mummy only to spit out the head because it was too hot!
