Whether you’re preparing these as a sweet dessert or a savory appetizer, they’re sure to impress both kids and adults alike. The best part? You can easily make these treats at home with minimal ingredients!
Ingredients
Ingredients for Sweet Version
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
Nutella, chocolate spread, or jam (your choice for the filling)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Candy eyes (or mini chocolate chips)
Powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Ingredients for Savory Version
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
6–8 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
1 egg (for egg wash)
Mustard or mayo (for eyes)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid any sticking.
Cut the puff pastry into rectangles—around 3×4 inches each. These will be the base of your mummy pastry.
Spread your filling (Nutella, chocolate spread, or jam) along the center of each rectangle. Be sure to leave space around the edges.
Slice the pastry strips on both long sides (like “bandages”), ensuring the middle remains intact to hold the filling.
Criss-cross the strips over the filling in a mummy-like pattern. This will give your pastries that bandaged look.
Brush the pastry with the egg wash to give it that golden finish when baked.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed up. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Cool slightly, then add the candy eyes using melted chocolate or icing. This step gives the mummies their cute yet spooky look!
Dust with powdered sugar if you want a sweet finish.
Notes
These spooky mummy pastries are perfect for Halloween parties or trick-or-treat snacks! You can fill them with chocolate, jam, or Nutella for a sweet twist, or use sausage or cheese for a savory version. Don’t forget to add candy eyes for extra fun! 👀
