Ingredients

• 8 ounces crescent roll dough

• 8 ounces mini cocktail sausages

• 2 tablespoons mustard

• 1 tablespoon ketchup

• 1 roll parchment paper

• 1 sheet pan

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips, about ¼ inch wide.
• Wrap the dough strips around each mini cocktail sausage to resemble mummy bandages, leaving a small uncovered area near the top for the face.
• Arrange the wrapped sausages on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a little space between each one.
• Bake for 10–14 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown. Check closely during the final 2 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
• Let the mummy bites cool for about 5 minutes. Add small dots of mustard or ketchup for the eyes just before serving.

Notes

• Keep the dough strips fairly thin so the crescent dough cooks evenly around the sausages.
• Avoid wrapping the sausages too tightly because the dough will expand as it bakes.
• Leave a visible gap for the face before baking so the mummy design stays easy to decorate.
• Baking time can vary slightly depending on the thickness of the dough strips and your oven.
• Add the mustard or ketchup eyes after the bites have cooled slightly so the decoration stays neat.
• Watch the final few minutes closely, since crescent dough can brown quickly near the end of baking.

Nutrition Information

Nutrition information was not supplied for this recipe.

Nutritional values can vary depending on the brands of crescent dough, sausages, condiments, and the number of bites served.

Important Recipe Information

The supplied recipe does not include a separate prep time. Baking takes about 10–14 minutes, followed by approximately 5 minutes of cooling before decorating and serving.

For the best mummy appearance, keep part of each sausage uncovered when wrapping the dough. This creates a clear space for the eyes after baking.

Variations

Use mustard, ketchup, or a combination of both for the mummy eyes. The decoration can also be kept simple by adding only two small dots to each bite.

The width and placement of the crescent dough strips can vary slightly from bite to bite, which helps create a more natural wrapped-mummy appearance.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these bites warm as a Halloween appetizer, party snack, or kid-friendly finger food. Extra mustard and ketchup can be placed on the side for dipping.
