Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and brush 2 baking trays with a little oil. Mix the honey, ketchup and mustard together in a bowl, then brush over the chipolata sausages.

  • step 2

    Unroll the croissant dough and divide into 3 rectangles. Pinch together the diagonal perforated seams, then cut into long thin strips – you should get about 16 per rectangle.

  • step 3

    Wind the little croissant strips around the chipolatas, leaving a little gap at one end to make a slit for the eyes. Place on baking trays and bake for 20 mins. Cool a little, then, using the mustard, dot a pair of little yellow eyes on to each mummy. Serve warm with glow-in-the-dark goo (see goes well with, below) and/or your favourite dip.

Tried this for Halloween as it sounded easy but I found it really fiddly trying to get the dough to stay where I wanted it on the sausages. It slips and slides around. I was in a rush and in hindsight maybe some cocktail sticks would have helped... but others found it easy, not sure how/why I did…

question

Has any body tried these with veggies like carrot sticks or baby corn? I think flour and egg on the veg before the pastry might help it stick

Hi there, the recipe has only been tested with sausages but you could try using other things, perhaps try vegetarian sausages instead?

Made these for last week's Halloween party and they were a real hit! Possibly wouldn't dip the sausages in so much marinade next time as they were slippery to cover, but they tasted great.

Great little yummy mummy sausages for a toddlers party. Fiddly to get going then rather easy, will be making again.

Made these for a Halloween lunch party for toddlers. They went down a treat and actually we're fairly straight forward to make if a little fiddly to get started. Will def be making again!
