Introduction
Looking for a hauntingly adorable appetizer for your Halloween spread? Halloween Sausage Mummies deliver big on both spooky charm and savory flavor.

Deliciously Unique Halloween Sausage Mummies
What sets this recipe apart is its perfect fusion of flaky, buttery pastry and juicy sausage, elevated by creative presentation. Each mummy is individually wrapped, giving you a snack that’s both satisfying and visually fun—no need for complicated tools or hard-to-find ingredients. Plus, you can customize them with mustard, ketchup, or even cheese for extra layers of flavor.
Preparing the Perfect Sausage Mummies
Start by selecting your favorite cocktail sausages—classic, chicken, or even plant-based options all work well. Wrap each sausage in thin strips of store-bought puff pastry, leaving small gaps for “eyes.” For eyes, use either edible candy eyes or small dots of mustard. Brush each wrapped sausage with a light egg wash for that irresistible golden-brown finish.
Assembling Your Halloween Sausage Mummies
Lay out the wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart for even baking. After a quick trip in the oven, they’ll puff up to reveal flaky “bandages.” Finish each mummy with edible eyes or small dots of mustard or mayo, bringing your spooky snack to life.
Serving Suggestions for Show-Stopping Halloween Sausage Mummies
Serve your mummies with a selection of dipping sauces—think ketchup “blood,” mustard, and spicy sriracha mayo. Garnish your platter with fresh parsley or arrange on a tray with toy spiders and mini pumpkins for extra Halloween flair. Pair with fresh veggie sticks or a themed punch for a crowd-pleasing snack board.
