Overlooked until now, that is.
Behold: air-fried mummy fingers."
The mummy theme is a thinly veiled excuse to incorporate strips of Pillsbury crescent dough into my diet.

How to make air fryer mummy fingers
1.
Crack open a tube of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a cutting board.
Cut the dough into 1/2-inch thick strips.
I tried both and found that I liked the extra yardage I gained by cutting the dough lengthwise.
Open a pack of pre-cooked sausage links, or hot dogs.
The Brown N Serve box has 10 sausages, which is exactly how many fingers mummies have.
Leave one end of the sausage peeking out as the finger tip.
Use a small knife to make a slit at the exposed end of the sausage.
I cut into it at a slight angle, so the fingernail wouldnt poke up too much.
That would be unnatural.
Tuck a raw almond into the flap, with the pointy end facing out.
Use raw almonds because theyll toast in the air fryer; almonds that are pre-roasted might overcook.
Repeat this with all of the fingers.
The Brown ‘N Serve cooked quickly.
The sausage is already fully cooked, so theres no need to fret about the meats doneness.
Serve these horrifying sausage fingers with splatters of bloody ketchup, or slimy green pesto scrambled eggs.
Try makingmini mummy hot dogs with this recipe.
After all, youll need to eat something wholesome before that bag of candy later.
Unbox the pre-cooked sausages.
Wrap each sausage in a strip of dough on a diagonal.
Once you reach the bottom of the sausage, come back up the other direction so the dough criss-crosses.
(This is how mummies do it.)
Leave one end of the sausage exposed as the finger tip.
Repeat this with all of the sausages.
Serve with any ghoulish dips you like.
