Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate the triangles.
Add the Snickers: Place one on each triangle near the flat end.
Trim the dough: Cut off the long points and save for later.
Make the bandages: Slice horizontal strips on both sides of the candy.
Wrap the mummies: Fold up the top and bottom dough, then crisscross strips over the Snickers.
Add extra strips: Use saved dough to make more mummy layers.
Bake until golden: Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake until lightly golden.
Decorate: Cool slightly, then add powdered sugar and candy eyes.
Substitutions and Variations
Use other candy bars: Milky Way or 3 Musketeers also work well.
Make it gluten free: Use a gluten free crescent dough or pastry.
Add spices: Mix cinnamon or nutmeg into the dough for fall flavor.
Try savory: Use hot dogs or cheese for a savory twist.
Air fryer version: I recommend air frying at 375°F for about 5 minutes or until they’re golden brown. If you do this, be sure that there are no holes in the dough on the bottom and sides of the mummies.
Serving Suggestions
With savory Halloween snacks: Enjoy mini charcuterie boards and skull potatoes.
With sweet treats: Pair them with leftover candy brownies, pots de creme and boozy dirt cups.
With drinks or shots: How about a black magic cocktail and a few eyeball jello shots?
How to Store Mummy Snickers Bites
Store: Keep leftovers in a covered container in the fridge and eat within 2 or 3 days.
Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing, as the pasty won’t stay crisp.
Reheat: Warm them back up in the oven for a few minutes. Alternatively, they’re good served at room temperature.
Top Tips
Don’t skip the cooling step: Let them cool slightly so the eyes stick well.
Seal the dough: Press it gently so it doesn’t open during baking.
Get creative: Add colored icing or spooky sprinkles.
Serve warm: They taste even better slightly gooey from the oven.
Reduce leakage: The fewer gaps in the “bandages” the less seepage you will see. If you store the Snickers in the fridge before making the mummies, this may also help lessen any seepage – however at 400°F for 10 mins, there shouldn’t be an issue. (I also tested these at 375°F for 15 minutes and they didn’t come out as good, so I don’t recommend a lower temperature).

Halloween Snickers Mummy Treats Recipe
Halloween Snickers Mummy Treats
Ingredients
- 8 fun-size Snickers bars, unwrapped
- 1 Can crescent rolls
- 16 candy eyes
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay out the triangles of dough, gently stretching each one out in all directions.
- Place a Snickers on each of the triangles of dough vertically, about an inch down from the short, flat side of the dough.
- Cut the long pointy tips of the dough triangles off, about an inch below the bottom of the Snickers. Save those pieces of dough for later.
- Cut horizontal strips in the dough along the left and right sides of the Snickers.
- Fold the top piece of dough up and wrap the long strips around the outer edges of the Snickers, gently pressing to seal shut, do the same with the bottom piece of dough. Use the remaining strips to crisscross over the body of the Snickers mummy and tuck any excess dough under the mummies. Leave a small space towards the top open so that you can place eyes after it bakes.
- Take the extra pointy pieces that you cut off at the beginning, and cut into thin strips. Use these strips to add more bandages to each mummy.
- Place the mummies a couple inches apart on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple minutes.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and place the candy eyeballs
- Best served warm, but also delicious served room temperature.
