How do you reheat the mummies?
There are a few ways you can reheat your hot dog mummies! One method is to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place your mummies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Another way if you're in a hurry, you can always pop your mummy in the microwave for 30 seconds on high power!
