Step-by-Step Instructions (three hero recipes)
1) Mummy Mini Dogs (kid magnet)
Why it works: Classic hot dog in a spooky wrapper — savory and fun.
Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Steps:
Wrap each sausage with a strip of puff pastry to create “mummies,” leaving a small gap for the eyes. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown. Dot ketchup or cream cheese for eyes. Serve warm.
2) Eyeball Cheese Bites (no-bake, 10 minutes)
Why it works: Creamy, savory with a wild look — perfect for dipping.
Prep: Form small cream cheese circles; press a sliced olive or a ketchup dot on top to make an “eyeball.” Chill 10 minutes.
Serve: on crackers or skewered for a spooky effect.
3) Witch Finger Veggies (healthy, colorful)
Why it works: A fresh option that still looks spooky and fun.
Prep: Cut the cucumber and baby carrots into finger shapes. Use a dab of cream cheese or food coloring to mimic nails.
Arrange: on a rustic wooden board with mayonnaise spiderwebs to complete the look.
Storage Information
- Mummy mini dogs: Store covered in fridge up to 2 days; reheat at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes.
- Eyeball bites: Keep chilled in an airtight container up to 3 days.
- Witch finger veggies: Assemble same day for best crunch; pre-cut veg stored separately up to 2 days.
Helpful Tips
- Use pre-made dough or pre-sliced cheese to speed assembly.
- Use toothpicks with flagged ends for easier kid-handling.
- For allergy-friendly parties, label each tray and provide vegan/egg-free versions.
- Prep components ahead: cut veggies and form cheese bites earlier in the day.
Variations
- Meat-free mummy: use vegan sausages or cheese sticks.
- Sweet version: wrap mini bananas in puff pastry, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (mini “mummies” dessert).
- Spicy: add smoked paprika or sriracha to the cream cheese mix.
