Mummy Hot Dog FAQs
Yes, option to assemble them a couple hours ahead of time or even the night before but that crescent dough does tend to get a little weird if you let them sit in the fridge for too long.
After they have been cooked, you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for the next 3-4 days. Simply reheat in the microwave.
Yes! Feel free to use your favorite kind of pre-cooked hot dog here – they will all work!
