The Story & Intro
Let me tell you these Creepy Sausage Mummies Wrapped in Crescent Rolls have become the Halloween recipe in my family. The first time I made them, I was just trying to come up with something quick and festive for a school party. But once the tray hit the table, the kids screamed (in a good way!), and they were gone in minutes.
Back in Crete, we didn’t celebrate Halloween like this, but I’ve always loved any excuse to play with food and make people smile. These little mummies do just that. They’re spooky-cute, easy to make, and perfect for little hands to grab. What I love most is that they take something simple sausages and crescent dough and turn it into a Halloween masterpiece with just a few cuts and a couple of candy eyes.
You can get the kids involved too. My niece loves wrapping the “bandages” around the sausages, and we always giggle when the eyes go on because that’s when the mummies come alive! Whether you’re making them for a party, lunchbox surprise, or just a fun kitchen activity, Creepy Sausage Mummies Wrapped in Crescent Rolls are always a hit.
Ingredients
Makes 8–10 mummy sausages, depending on the size of your sausages.
For the Mummies:
- 1 package crescent roll dough (refrigerated)
- 8–10 cooked sausages (any kind – hot dogs, chicken, vegan, etc.)

- 1 tablespoon water
For the Eyes:

Step-by-Step: How to Make Creepy Sausage Mummies
- Preheat and prep your oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. - Roll out the crescent dough
Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the seams together to make one sheet. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice it into long, thin strips about ¼ inch wide. These will be the mummy bandages. - Wrap the mummies
Take each sausage and wrap it with dough strips, leaving a small gap near the top for the face. Crisscross the strips to make it look like bandages. Let the kids help it’s like wrapping little food presents! - Egg wash (optional)
Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush it lightly over the dough to help them get golden and crisp in the oven. - Bake
Place the wrapped sausages on the tray and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. - Add eyes
Once they’re slightly cooled, add your candy eyes with a tiny dab of mustard, ketchup, or mayo. If you’re using homemade eyes, dot on cream cheese or mayo and place a tiny black seed or olive piece in the center. - Serve
Arrange your creepy sausage mummies on a Halloween platter and watch them disappear faster than a ghost at sunrise!
