These Monster Mummies are not only adorable but also packed with flavor, making them a perfect finger food for your Halloween gathering.

Bake them until they’re puffy and golden, then draw on little eyes with mustard or ketchup when they come out of the oven. These Monster Mummies not only look great but also taste fantastic, making them a must-have at your Halloween party!
