Mummy Hand Pies are a fun and spooky Halloween dessert made with crescent roll dough, a sweet filling, and a cute mummy bandage design. They are easy to prepare, customizable with your favorite fillings, and perfect for family activities or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (or filling of choice)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for icing)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)
  • Mini chocolate chips (for mummy eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Press the seams together to create one large sheet.
  3. Cut the dough into rectangles, about 4×3 inches in size.
  4. Place approximately one tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread in the center of each rectangle, leaving space at the edges.
  5. Fold the dough over to create a pocket, sealing the edges by pinching them together.
  6. Use a small knife to slice thin strips from the remaining dough to create “bandages.”
  7. Lay the dough strips crisscross over the top of each pie and press down gently to secure them.
  8. In a small bowl, beat the egg. Use a pastry brush to apply the egg wash on the dough for a golden finish.
  9. Transfer the mummy hand pies to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency as necessary.
  12. Use the icing to drizzle “bandages” across the pies and place mini chocolate chips as eyes.
