If you are having a Halloween bash this year, you definitely have to try these mummy sausage rolls, which are a bit like American pigs in a blanket.
They are so easy to make in advance and then pop in the oven when you are ready. After all, who can resist the aroma of sausages and pastry? It always brings people scuttling into the kitchen!
I've used ready rolled puff pastry, because it's so easy and it only takes half a sheet. You could use the rest to make some mini tartlets or cut out pastry finger shapes for dipping in ketchup!
Either way, these are delicious for a hot or cold snack all year round too - just leave the eyes off and they are perfect for summer picnics.

🥘 Ingredients
- Sausages - pork chipolatas. These are just thinner sausages than normal with the same length. Cocktail sausages wouldn't be suitable as there isn't enough length to wrap the pastry around.
- Pastry - ideally ready rolled puff pastry in a rectangle.
- Honey - this is for sticking on the eyes.
- Egg - to mix with water to glaze before baking.
- Candy eyes - these edible eyes are now widely available in most large supermarkets or online.
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post.
🍽 Equipment
- oven tray lined with parchment paper or silicon
- sharp knife
- pastry brush
- spatula
🔪 Instructions
Lay out the pastry on a board.
Cut 12 strips from the shorter edge about 1 centimetre or half an inch wide.
💭 Top Tip
- If you are using frozen puff pastry let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- Remove it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before using to avoid the pastry cracking as it is unrolled.
Line a baking tray with parchment or silicon.
Wrap each chipolata in the pastry in a spiral pattern.
Be sure to overlap the pastry at each end so that the pastry doesn't unravel.
Repeat with the remaining chipolatas.
Mix the egg with a tablespoon of water and use a pastry brush to glaze the Halloween sausage rolls.
⏲️ Baking Time
Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F / 180 FAN / Gas 6 and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
Let the sausages rest for a few minutes on the oven tray.
Transfer to a serving plate and use some honey to stick the eyes on when they have cooled slightly.
It's easier to wedge the eyes inbetween the pastry.
Serve with your favourite dips and enjoy.
