Easy Lightened Up Mummy Hot Dogs
Ingredients
- 1 package Pillsbury reduced fat crescent roll dough*see note
- 6 low point hot dogs
patted dry- I like to use 97% Hebrew National Franks- they are only 45 calories and 1 PersonalPoint per hot dog
- 1 Tbsp yellow mustard or no sugar added ketchup
Directions
- 1
Unroll dough into triangles. Cut only 6 triangles into 3-4 thin strips.
- 2
Wrap 3 strips of dough around each hot dog, stretching dough slightly so they look like bandages. You'll only use 6 out of the 8 crescent dough triangles. If you wanted you can make 4 additional hot dog mummies or make two crescent rolls out of the leftover dough.
- 3
Leave a small space exposed at the top for the face. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 4
Place crescent dogs on prepared baking sheet; laying the mummy’s about 2 inches apart.
- 5
Cook 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
- 6
Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before adding “eyes” with mustard or ketchup using a toothpick to dot the eyes.

Enjoy!
