    • Hillshire Farm Beef Lit'l Smokies (or other brand of small cocktail sausages).

    How to Make Mummy Pigs in a Blanket

    Mummy pigs in a blanket are a fun and easy Halloween recipe that kids will love. This recipe is simple to make and only requires a few ingredients. Your little ones will be excited to help you make these spooky treats!

    Step 1. Prepare the Crescent Dough

    unrolled crescent rolls.

    Pop out the crescent dough and spread it out on a clean surface. Pinch the perforations together to make a solid sheet of dough.

    crescent roll dough rolled out and cut with a pizza cutter.

    Using a pizza cutter, make twenty strips across and one cut down the center for 40 strips of dough.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve your mini mummy pigs in a blanket at your next Halloween gathering or just as a fabulous breakfast surprise for your kids!

    Storage

    Freeze these before cooking and you can just pop them in the oven after defrosting. Refrigerate any leftover mummies in a covered container for up to 3 days.

    Tips for Success

    • Don't try to overthink the wrappings. The dough is going to rise when baking, so while the cocktail sausages might look a little naked with one dough strip, after cooking they will look fabulous.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can make these with full size hot dogs or larger sausages?

    Yes, you will probably need to slice the crescent dough into longer strips though.

    Food Safety

    • Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw meat
    • Wash hands after touching raw meat
    • Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods
    • Never leave cooking food unattended
    • Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds
    • Always have good ventilation when using a gas stove

    • Pinch the seams together. Cut the dough into thin strips with a pizza cutter.
    • Wrap each of the mini cocktail sausages with a strip of the crescent dough. Wrap haphazardly so it looks like messy bandages and there is a space for eyes to peek out of at the top. Repeat for rest of dough. You may need to use a second can of dough if you want more than 24, as you will have left over sausages.
