Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

I mean, ’tis the season, right?! 😜

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

And just because my Christmas trees are up doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy my Reese’s pumpkins while I’m decorating! Best of both worlds, if you ask me! 😆

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣

And unlike traditional Halloween sugar cookies, there’s NO rolling out dough, NO cookie cutters, and NO spending hours decorating with royal icing! 🙌🏻 Because as much as I love a beautifully decorated cookie, sometimes I just want something quick and easy that still looks cute! 🤣

These homemade Halloween cookies are perfect for:

🎃 Halloween parties and spooky celebrations

👻 Halloween dessert boards

🍪 Classroom parties and festive treats

🧡 Cozy Halloween movie nights at home

How to Make Mummy Dogs

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

With Halloween fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to share with you all this easy, mummy dogs crescent roll recipe! It’s not only so much fun to make, but delicious as well. And, it is the perfect snack and/or appetizer for Halloween too!

You only need a handful of ingredients to get started and it doesn’t take long to cook at all either. Which is another bonus! So if you’re looking for a quick and easy Halloween recipe idea, this is it!

This post is sponsored by State Fair Corn Dogs. But all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Finished Mummy Dogs

Ingredients Needed for Mummy Dogs:

  • State Fair Corn Dogs
  • Crescent Dough
  • Candy Eye Sprinkles
  • Mustard
Ingredients Needed for Mummy Dogs

Not only are these State Fair Corn Dogs delicious by themselves, but when you add in the crescent dough with them, they turn out to be even better!

Corn Dogs

And another great thing about them is that they come individually wrapped too. So you don’t have to make them all at once. You can make just as many as you need to and save the rest for later!

Individually Wrapped Corn Dogs

You can also find these yummy corn dogs at your local Walmart too! As you can see below, my hubby was thrilled to go shopping with me to get them!

Husband Shopping at Walmart

How to Cook the Mummy Dogs

I basically just followed the package’s directions, but I took them out halfway to add the crescent dough onto them. So I placed them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes first and then took them out to do that.

Cooking Corn Dogs

To make the mummy dogs, I simply just flattened out the crescent roll dough first onto a cutting board.

Making the Mummy Dogs

Then, I used a knife and cut them into little strips. This is what I used to wrap around the corn dog after taking them out of the oven.

Crescent Dough for Mummy Dogs

I just wrapped a few strips here and there around the corn dog until I thought it had more of a mummy look to it. There was really no rhyme or reason here. I just went for it!

Cooking the Mummy Dogs

I also left a little space around the top of the corn dog. That’s where the candy eyeball sprinkles will go so be sure not to wrap them fully around the corn dog.

Eat and Enjoy!

Once you wrapped them with the crescent roll dough, place them back into the oven for 10-12 more minutes. Or until the dough is a nice and golden brown.

Halloween Mummy Dogs

I let them cool for a few minutes before adding in the eyes. To attach the eyes, I just added a drop of mustard to the back of them and then placed it on the corn dog. The mustard was essentially acting like glue for the eyeballs here.

Crescent Mummy Dogs

Now you can eat and enjoy them! I always serve them with a big side of mustard because I love to dip my corn dogs in mustard too!

Me With Mummy Dogs

Aren’t they just too cute and adorable? And they taste amazing too! So be sure to try them out this Halloween and let me know how they work for you too!

Pilsbury Mummy Dogs

I’m sure kids would absolutely go nuts over this fun and festive snack as well. Like I said above, it’s perfect for a Halloween party. Or even just a fun night in.

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

Ummm, what do you mean?! Is that even a question?! 🤣 Obviously, I’ll be decking the halls, putting up Christmas trees, and baking and decorating Christmas cookies! 🎄🍪🎅🏻

I mean, ’tis the season, right?! 😜

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

And just because my Christmas trees are up doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy my Reese’s pumpkins while I’m decorating! Best of both worlds, if you ask me! 😆

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣

I thought Toby was going to be the CUTEST little lion for Halloween this year, but apparently he did NOT agree with my vision! 🤣 He ripped that lion’s mane off faster than I could even get a good picture!

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who buys adorable Halloween costumes for cats who absolutely refuse to wear them?! 😹👇🏼
