Mummy Lil Smokies Recipe

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

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

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!

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.

Crescent roll dough – Use the crescent dough sheets, rolls, or pizza dough if you need to.

Mustard – I like to use yellow mustard, honey mustard, or brown mustard.

Horseradish – Use prepared horseradish or substitute a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

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.
