Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 fun-size Snickers bars (unwrapped)
- 1 can crescent rolls (8 oz can)
- 16 candy eyes
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the mummy treats.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Unroll crescent dough: Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll the dough onto a clean surface, gently stretching each triangular piece in all directions to make them slightly larger and more pliable.
- Add Snickers bars: Place one Snickers bar vertically about one inch down from the wider end of each dough triangle.
- Trim dough triangles: Cut off the long pointed tips of the dough triangles approximately one inch below the bottom of each Snickers bar; set these dough scraps aside for later use.
- Cut strips for wrapping: Make horizontal cuts on both sides of the Snickers bars to create dough strips for wrapping.
- Wrap the Snickers: Fold the top part of the dough up over the Snickers. Then, wrap the strips around both sides of the bar, gently pressing to seal. Do the same with the bottom portion to fully enclose the candy bar but leave a small gap at the top for the eyes after baking. Use extra strips to crisscross over the mummy body to mimic bandages, tucking in excess dough underneath.
- Create additional bandages: Take the reserved pointed dough scraps, cut them into thin strips, and add them on top of each mummy for more bandage effect.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the mummies evenly spaced a couple of inches apart on the lined baking sheet to allow even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the crescent dough is lightly golden and cooked through.
- Cool slightly: Remove from oven and allow the mummies to cool for a few minutes so they firm up slightly and are easier to handle.
- Decorate: Lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar for a ghostly touch, then place two candy eyes near the open space at the top of each mummy.
- Serve: Serve warm to enjoy the gooey, melty Snickers inside a crispy dough exterior. They are also delicious at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure Snickers bars are fun-size for perfect fitting inside the dough triangles.
- If desired, you can substitute candy eyes with small dots of white and dark chocolate.
- For a different flavor twist, try using other candy bars like Milky Way or Twix.
- Watch baking time carefully to avoid over-browning the dough.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
