I am all about Halloween. I used to have an annual Halloween party that required attendees to wear costumes. Everyone. No exceptions. Halloween is probably my favorite holiday, and I am not just saying it for the candy. But I will admit Halloween does have the BEST candy, and of courses it’s so fun to make spooky themed Halloween recipes for dessert all month. This weekend I tried my hand at a new Halloween treat – Milky Way Stuffed Brains and Snickers Mummies.
I am always on the lookout for new Halloween ideas. One of my favorites is Baked Mummy Cheese Hot Dogs, so I figured why not give it a whirl with Halloween candy. I even hesitate to call this a recipe. It’s way too easy! To make the Milky Way Stuffed Brains and Snickers Mummies, I used thawed store bought puff pastry, Milky Way minis, and fun size Snickers bars. If you really want to go to town, or make an adult size serving, feel free to try the mummies with full size Snickers bars.
Section pieces of the puff pastry into squares and completely wrap the Milky Way mini. Slice thin long strips of puff pasty to use for the brain matter and add to the top of each fully wrapped Milky Way mini. For the Snickers mummies, section the puff pastry into larger rectangles, and completely wrap the fun size bars. Using similar thin long strips of puff pastry fully wrap the bars to create the bandaged mummy look. Place all the mummies and stuffed brains on a baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven.
Make sure you fully seal the candy minis and bars in the puff pastry. If not, the pastry may leak out all the melting gooey candy while baking. I had a few that leaked, but they still tasted amazing! So trust me when I say they won’t go to waste if you end up with a few that look less than perfect. Halloween candy can get expensive, and I don’t waste any of it. I also try and check for coupons where I can. You never know when a good sale is going to happen.
Now of course, no Halloween celebration would be complete without a ghoulish special drink like my Blood and Guts Punch! This kid friendly mocktail is super easy. Start with a glass, add a scoop or two of rainbow sherbet, fill the glass halfway with Hawaiian Punch, then top off the remaining glass with 7Up. The sherbet will create a fun foam like texture to the drink and float on the top. My favorite part is the ice cream foam! YUM!

Spookily adorable 🙂
Thank you. P.S. Everyone looks a little scary in the morning including me. Have a good evening!
I hope you saved a stuffed brain for me! Yum!
Those were the first to go, Amy! Super delicious and you could pop them right in your mouth. A little dangerous to make on a regular basis. 🙂
Wow! These are some detailed Halloween Recipes! The Milky Way Stuffed Brains look amazing. Great job!
I love Halloween recipes! I wondered how you made those brains! They look challenging but puff pastry? I can handle that! I need easy ideas and you got it perfect for me!
These Halloween recipes are right up my alley – I love simple holiday ideas like these! Your creations are a unique way to eat Milky Ways and Snickers, that’s for sure! The punch also looks like something I’d like to try.
These recipes look yummy! As I was reading I was thinking, hmmm what peanut free candy could I use to make these peanut and gluten free. You’ve got my wheels spinning. How fun and cute they would be for a Halloween treat!
I don’t think my family would allow me to put the candy bars in a pastry, but they’d go for the punch for certain. I think I like the brains for design. Maybe a part of a hotdog and then do brains? Hmm.
Oh, gosh. I only ever make the sherbert punch FOR THE ICE CREAM. And then when it’s gone, I top it off with more… until all the foam is gone and I’m THAT GIRL at the party. Oops. And I’m loving the stuffed BRAINS treat. How cool that would be for a Walking Dead party, too!
Well, I am a huge fan of chocolate so the brains and mummies sound delicious, but I am a sucker for good (and different) punch recipes. I have never heard of this version so I can’t wait to try it out. As a big fan of Halloween parties, I’ll pin this one for future reference for years to come. Thanks!
Ahh the brain stuff is so icky! LOL Makes me squirmy!
Milky ways are my favorite so these Creepy Halloween Recipes are right up my alley! Also loving the blood and guts punch! Fabulous!
I can’t decide which one I want to try the most! I am intrigued by all of these yummy snacks!
I want Milky Way stuffed brains! Right NOW! What a yummy idea.
These look like such fun! Just in time for Halloween. I love taking holiday themed food to my kids party’s. Thanks.
Those are all so creative, and I want to see if I can pull of the brain squiggles like you do!
