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.
