Mummy Dogs with Crescent Roll Dough

Makes 8

Ingredients 

  • 1 can crescent roll dough (8 oz)
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 16 candy eyes
  • Optional: ketchup or mustard, for dipping.

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it. Use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into thin strips (about 1/4-inch wide).
  3. Take one hot dog and wrap the crescent dough strips around it, leaving a small gap near the top for the “face.” Continue wrapping the dough around each hot dog, overlapping slightly to create a mummy effect. Don’t worry about making it perfect—the unevenness adds to the mummy look!
  4. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
  5. Let the Mummy Dogs cool slightly, then place two candy eyes in the gap you left for the face. If the eyes don’t stick, use a tiny dab of ketchup or mustard as “glue.”
  6. Serve your Mummy Dogs warm with ketchup or mustard for dipping! These adorable Mummy Dogs are a hit with kids and make a fantastic Halloween snack!

Halloween Eyeball Skewers with Melon, Mozzarella, and Prosciutto

Makes 16 Skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mini mozzarella balls
  • 8 slices of prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 cup cantaloupe or honeydew melon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 16 slices of black olives (for the “pupil”)
  • 16 small skewers or toothpicks

Directions

  1. Take each mini mozzarella ball and wrap it with a slice of prosciutto. Gently press to ensure the prosciutto stays wrapped around the mozzarella.
  2. Create the “Eyes”: Place one sliced black olive on top of each prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella ball to resemble a pupil. Press down slightly to make sure it sticks.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Slide a melon cube onto a skewer, followed by a “eyeball” mozzarella ball with the olive slice facing outward.
  4. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve immediately. They make a spooky and delicious addition to any Halloween spread! These eyeball skewers are perfect for Halloween gatherings and are a fun way to add a healthy option to your spooky snack table.

Halloween Ghost Brie and Jam Appetizer

Makes 1, Serves 3-4

Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese (about 8 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup raspberry or strawberry jam (for a “bloody” effect)
  • Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place the Brie wheel on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, carefully slice it in half horizontally through the center to create two thin wheels. Set aside the bottom half.
  2. On the top half of the Brie, use a small ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out a ghost shape near the center. Carefully remove the ghost-shaped piece and set aside.
  3. Place the bottom half of the Brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or serving platter. Spread a layer of jam across the center, covering the surface generously. Gently place the top half of the Brie with the ghost cutout over the jam-covered bottom half, aligning the edges so the jam shows through the ghost shape.
  4. If you’d like to serve the Brie warm, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Warm the Brie on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese becomes soft but not melted, allowing the jam to look a little more “bloody.”
  5. Carefully transfer the Brie to a serving platter, and arrange crackers or sliced baguette around it.

Pumpkin-Shaped Pepperoni Pizza Pockets

Ingredients

  • 1 package of premade pie dough (2 sheets)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices (or regular pepperoni slices cut into smaller pieces)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: black sesame seeds or olives for eyes, if desired

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many pumpkin shapes as possible from both sheets. You’ll need two pumpkins for each pizza pocket.
  3. On half of the pumpkin shapes, place about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center, spreading it slightly. Add a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese and a few pieces of pepperoni on top of the sauce. Be careful not to overfill.
  4. Place another pumpkin-shaped dough piece on top of each filled one. Use a fork to crimp the edges all around, sealing the pizza pocket. If desired, cut a small stem or face details with a knife for a jack-o’-lantern effect.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and lightly brush it over the tops of each pizza pocket to help them bake golden brown.
  6. Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden and crisp.
  7. After baking, add small black sesame seeds or pieces of olive to create eyes if you made jack-o’-lantern faces. (optional)
  8. Let the pizza pockets cool slightly before serving. These pumpkin-shaped treats are perfect for Halloween parties or as a spooky snack!
