Essential Equipment for Mummy Pigs in a Blanket
Okay, so to make these spooky little guys, you really don’t need a whole fancy setup. Just a few trusty kitchen helpers will do the trick!

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Mummy Pigs in a Blanket
Alright, let’s get these cute little Mummies into their festive outfits! Putting these Mummy Pigs in a Blanket (2025) together is honestly half the fun. It’s like unwrapping a present, only way tastier! Don’t worry about perfection here, the wackier the bandages, the better they look, trust me!

Prepare Your Baking Station
First things first, let’s get the oven roaring! Preheat it to 375°F (that’s 190°C for all you metric folks). Then grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper – this makes cleanup SO much easier, which is a huge win in my book, especially after a party! This helps everything bake up nice and even, without sticking.
Crafting the Mummy Wraps
Now for a little dough action! Unroll your crescent roll dough, and carefully separate it into those nice little triangles. Here’s the mummy trick: take your knife and cut each triangle lengthwise into super thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. Imagine you’re making little dough bandages! Then, take each hot dog or sausage and wrap those dough strips around it like a mummy. Overlap the strips as you go – don’t worry if you leave a little gap where the face will be, that’s exactly what you want! It gives them that classic mummy look rather than being completely encased.
Adding the Finishing Touches Before Baking
Once your little mummies are all wrapped up and looking spooky, place them onto that prepared baking sheet. Now, whisk up that egg. Just give it a good beat in a small bowl. Then, using a pastry brush or even the back of a spoon, brush that beaten egg over the dough. This is your egg wash, and it’s going to give them that gorgeous, golden-brown finish when they bake. They’ll smell amazing heating up!
Baking Your Mummy Pigs in a Blanket to Perfection
Pop that baking sheet into your preheated oven. You’ll want to bake these for about 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you’re looking for that beautiful golden-brown color on the crescent roll dough. They should be puffed up and look perfectly cooked. If the dough is golden, they’re ready! You don’t want them to get too dark or they might taste a little burnt. My trick is to peek at the biggest one to make sure it’s nice and toasty.
Creating the Mummy Eyes
Once they’re out of the oven and have cooled just a tiny bit (they’re super hot, so be careful!), it’s time for the best part: the eyes! Grab your mustard or ketchup. You just need a tiny dab. Carefully ‘dot’ two little eyes onto the exposed face area of each mummy. Two little dots are all it takes to bring these adorable little guys to life. It’s super satisfying to see them transform!
Tips for Perfect Mummy Pigs in a Blanket
Want to make sure your Mummy Pigs in a Blanket (2025) turn out absolutely SPOOK-tacular? I’ve learned a few tricks over the years that really make a difference. Honestly, the dough can be a little finicky sometimes, but don’t fret! If a strip tears, just press it back together. For the wraps, wrap them snugly but not too tight, so the dough has room to puff up. You can even try quartering the hot dogs before wrapping to make little mummy bites instead of full-sized ones. And if you don’t have crescent rolls, puff pastry cut into strips works in a pinch too! Oh, and check out my Fig and Brie Crescent Rolls for another fun crescent dough idea!
Serving Suggestions for Your Mummy Pigs in a Blanket
These Mummy Pigs in a Blanket (2025) are pretty much a party starter on their own, but they look extra fun surrounded by other Halloween goodies! I love serving them with a side of ketchup or mustard for dipping – makes those little mummy eyes pop even more! For a full spooky spread, you could pair them with some creepy deviled eggs or even a fun charcuterie board. Trying my butter board appetizer or goat cheese appetizer with honey would make your table look amazing! They’re just perfect for little hands reaching for a Halloween treat!
