- 2 ready-made puff pastry sheets
- 6 oz. fruit spread jam or preserves
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp. water
- 6 mini marshmallows
- 12 mini chocolate chips
line a baking sheet with parchment paper
unfold the puff pastry sheets and use the folded lines as a guide to cut them into long strips of 6 rectangles
cut the strips into halves - you should now have 12 equal rectangles
with 6 of the pastry rectangles, fold the edges up just a little to create an edge so the jam does not run off while baking
spread a couple of Tbsp. of jam into the center of the pastry rectangle
use the other 6 pastry halves to cut into strips
layer strips going across and at a diagonal - leaving space for eyes
mix the egg and water and brush the pastry with the egg mixture before baking
bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes
cut a mini marshmallow in half for the eyes
add mini chocolate chips to the center of the marshmallows for pupils
nutrition facts are only an estimate
How far in advance can I make these Handheld Pies?
You can make these Halloween pies a couple of days in advance, but they are best when fresh and right out of the oven
Storage: Store leftover Halloween Pastries covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days
Reheating: Reheat puff pastries in the oven for about 5 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them to heat them up
Reheating Side Note: The marshmallow and chocolate chip eyes will probably melt during the reheating process
What Else Can I Fill Pastry Handheld Pies With?
- chocolate - melt chocolate chips and add to the center
- apple pie filling
- pumpkin pie filling - you'll want to add other ingredients to the filling like evaporated milk and spices before making it into a handheld pie
- fruit jam
- ham and cheese
- sausage and cheese
- hamburger meat - seasoned to make an empanada
- pie fillings - various
Tips and Tricks:
- line your baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even baking and catch any stray jam that might run off of the pastry while baking
- fold the sides of your mummy with a short edging to prevent the jam from running
- don't overthink the mummy bandages. The more uneven they are, the better
- do brush an egg wash over your pastry to get that golden brown color
- do not add the eyes until your pastry is done baking
