Kellog's eat your heart out! These Spookalicious Mummy pop tarts are the new Halloween snack on the block! I am taking orders for whenever you are ready! Rich cookies and cream filling stuffed within the middle of the mummy and then drizzled with white icing. Top it off with those cute little eyes and your dessert is complete!
Pop tarts have always been one of my favorite breakfast foods. You can eat them toasted or not toasted and they always taste amazing. So making this dessert was a no brainer for me! My eldest has already eaten 2 of them!
Ingredients
- Two boxes of ready made pie crust (30 oz or 4 crusts): I used Aldi's Bake house pie crust
- Cream cheese
- Confectioner's sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Oreos: Can use other chocolate sandwich cookies
- MIlk
- Candy eyes
Step by step instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll out all the pie crusts on the counter. Cut off the rounded edges to make square shapes. I had about 15 of them.
- Second, place the oreo cookies into the food processor to crush to a fine crumb mixture. Then, with an electric mixer, mix together the cream cheese, butter,and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the oreo cookie mixture. Spread about 2 teaspoons on each rectangular squares.
- Third, cut the rest of the pie crust dough into long thin strips. Place them along the top of the square and pinch the edges underneath to seal them.
- Fourth, continue to criss cross strips of the dough to make the pastries look like a mummy. Bake the pop tarts on the baking sheets for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Lastly, once the pastries are cooled down, drizzle with white icing and put candy eyes in at the top.
Tips and tricks
- If the pie dough dries out, use a little bit of water between your fingers to pinch edges and create a better seal
- Once the pop tarts are baked, the cookies and cream filling gets hardened. Spread a little extra filling that is not cooked over the area before placing the candy eyes.
- Other fillings can be used such as any fruit/pie filing.
Substitutions and variations
- Use a different flavor inside the pop tart such as a strawberry or blueberry jam
- Drizzle red icing on top
Frequently asked questions
Can I freeze these pop tarts?
Yes, store in airtight container. When you are ready to reheat them, simply pop in the toaster for a couple of minutes.
