Mummy Lil Smokies Recipe

Everyone has seen mummy dogs before, at least I believe they have. Spooky Halloween eats that are fun to make whether you are 8 or 80!

Mini sausages or Little Smokies wearing a mummy wrap and dipped in a devilishly spicy mustard are the perfect party appetizer. Just like these BBQ lil smokies and bacon wrapped little smokies!

I made them as a child and I have kept the tradition alive with my boys. My new twist on these much-beloved snacks is shrinking them to “tapas” size.

These “Mummy Pups” will be your new favorite Halloween treat to share with your kids, along with my Mummy Munch snack mix.

Serve them as an after school snack before trick-or-treating or a special Halloween dinner.

How long do they last?

Store any leftover mummy lil smokies in an airtight container and place in the fridge. They will keep for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or oven until warmed through.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Wrap the dogs in the the strips of crescent rolls and cover. Place in the fridge for up to 2 days. Bake as directed when ready.

What can I use if I can’t find lil smokies?

You can cut a full-size hot dog into smaller pieces and wedges to mimic the size of the Smokies.

What’s the best way to wrap the dough?

The easiest way to wrap the mummies is to start with thin strips of dough. Place one end at the tip of the sausage. Hold in with a toothpick if it helps.

Continue wrapping around the sausage, leaving some space between so the dog peeks through.

When you reach the end, you can pinch the dough together or secure with the end of a toothpick. Bake as usual. Just be sure to remove the toothpick before eating.

Tapas Tips & Tricks

• Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough easier.
• If using a crescent triangle, press perforations together to make a full sheet then slide into pieces of dough.
• Try pizza dough in a pinch. Baking time may differ slightly.
• Add dots of mustard and place cute candy eyes on for more spooky fun.
• Can’t find lil smokies? Try regular hot dogs and cut them in half to make them smaller.
