How long can I keep mummy hot dog bites before serving?

You can prep them up to 4 hours in advance and chill. Reheat briefly in the oven before serving for best texture.

Can I make these ahead and freeze them?

Yes, freeze unbaked bites on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes to the cook time.

Are mummy hot dog bites kid-friendly and allergen-aware?

Yes, but check dough and hot dog labels for allergens. Use gluten-free dough and plant-based sausages for dietary needs.

How do I prevent the pastry from getting soggy?

Avoid over-wrapping and excess filling. Reheat in an oven, not a microwave, to keep pastry crisp.
