Egyptian Mummy Sausage Roll Recipe for Halloween

Mummy Vegetarian Sausage Rolls

These savoury snacks look fantastic and taste yummy served with Cottage Delight Roast Red Pepper Ketchup and Spicy English Mustard Sauce. A great Halloween teatime treat.

Ingredients

Pack of 6 frozen Vegetarian Sausages

Pack of short-crust pre rolled pastry 

Cottage Delight Roast Red Pepper Ketchup

Cottage Delight Spicy English Mustard Sauce

Method

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the sheet of short-crust pastry.

Using a pastry cutter or sharp knife slice the dough into 1cm wide strips.

Wrap a strip of pastry around each sausage as you get near the top of the sausage; leave a gap in the pastry strips to make room for the mummy's eyes. You may need to use more than one strip for each sausage.

Repeat steps above until you've made all the mummies.

Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees.
Once cooked take out of the oven.
Add a little blob of ketchup for each eye.

Serve with Cottage Delight Roast Red Pepper Ketchup and Cottage Delight Spicy English Mustard Sauce – perfect for dipping.

This is also a great idea to get fussy eaters tucking in to their dinner. Who could resist a veggie Mummy Sausage Roll with a bowl of beans? Freddy loved it.

Spooky Sandwich Ideas for Halloween

This Halloween, I've been making some fun spooky sandwiches using Warburtons bread.  From a Wholemeal Jack O'Lantern to a Thins Monster to a Bread Roll Ghoul, adding a bit of scary flair will make teatime extra fun for little ones.

The Sandwich Thins Monster is filled with cheese spread and decorated with cheese slice fangs and a red pepper tongue.  Raisins pressed into two cut out circles make his eyeballs. 

The Jack O' Lantern has cut out eyes and nose with the cheese filling showing through.  

Using Halloween shaped cookie cutters, I made some simple, little Marmite bats and cheese spread ghosts, but my favourite sandwich that I made is the Bread Roll Ghoul filled with jam, and with grape eyes and sliced almond teeth.  A spot of chocolate sauce made his eyeballs.  A sweet treat to enjoy at Halloween!

As they are all made using Wholemeal or Half and Half bread, they are a healthier, higher fibre option for children to enjoy.  Even fussy kids will enjoy eating something that captures their imagination.

It's fun to get creative with food at Halloween and kids love helping out with the making as well as the eating.  With some cutters or a knife and a bit of imagination you can turn the humble sandwich into something with a Halloween theme.  They will look great as a part of a Halloween spread or will make a tasty teatime treat for your little monsters.

However you celebrate Halloween, I hope you have some real spooky fun for your family this year!

Spooky Fruit Creations with Aldi - Making Ghoulish Apple Teeth

This Halloween why not make some scary ghoulish teeth...a horrifyingly healthy snack for your little ones to munch on.

Simply take a red apple and cut into eighths.  This will make four pairs of teeth.  Using flaked almonds or whole almonds cut into slithers, make teeth to press into the apple gums!  Freddy was able to push the nuts into the apple with a little help to create some scary looking, jagged false teeth!

You can experiment with the shape and size of the teeth, making pointy vampire teeth or scary fangs.

Freddy and I had some fun trying out our new gnashers.  They are quite simple to make with a little adult help. He thought they were fab, and enjoyed eating them afterwards as fruit and nuts are some of his favourite foods.  

The teeth look great and will make a great addition to a Halloween party table. They make a nice, healthier alternative to the usual candy based Halloween treats

We added some Halloween embellishments to one of our Ghoulish Teeth selfies, just to add a spooky effect to the end result.  Me and my 'ghoul' really had a lot of pre-Halloween fun with this activity!

You can buy the ingredients to make the Ghoulish Apple Teeth  from Aldi:  Pink Lady apples are £1.99 for an 8 pack and Whole Almonds are £1.29 for a 185g bag.
