Spooky Mummy Puffs

When Halloween’s in the air and your kitchen smells like cinnamon and pastry, it’s time to bake something that’s both spooky and cozy, like these Spooky Mummy Puffs.

Flaky, golden, and cheesy, they’re the kind of Halloween snack that’s more cute than creepy, perfect for movie nights, fall parties, or a fun afternoon in the kitchen with your little one. They come together in less than 30 minutes and look like something straight out of a cozy autumn café.

Whether you’re hosting a Halloween get-together or snuggling in for a scary movie, these mummies are the flaky, gooey comfort you didn’t know you needed.

Here’s what you’ll need for 4 servings:

🥐 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

🧀 4 mozzarella sticks (or string cheese)

🥚 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

👁️ 8 candy eyes (or tiny olive dots)

🍅 2 tbsp pizza sauce (for dipping)

How to Make It:

Wrap it up:

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Slice the puff pastry into thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide.

Get spooky:

Wrap each mozzarella stick with pastry strips, leaving small spaces for eyes. Brush with egg wash for a glossy, golden finish.

Bake & serve:

Bake for 15 minutes, or until it's puffed and golden. Let cool slightly, add candy eyes, and serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping.

🍂 Tips, Variations & Pairings

• Cheesy twist:

Swap mozzarella for cheddar sticks for a bolder, sharper flavor.

• Sweet version:

Try Nutella or pumpkin purée instead of cheese, and dust with cinnamon sugar for dessert mummies!

• Pair it with:

A cozy cup of Spiced Pumpkin Hot Chocolate or a warm apple cider caramel dip (recipe coming soon!).

💡 MillennialFoodieByRao Tip

For an extra cozy aroma, sprinkle the puff pastry with garlic powder or pumpkin spice before baking; it makes your kitchen smell magically fall-ready. 🕯️
