Babybel cheese mummies for halloween

These Babybel Cheese Mummies are a fun and easy snack to make for Halloween! With just a few simple ingredients, you can turn ordinary Babybel cheese rounds into cute and spooky little mummies. They’re perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or just as a fun treat for the kids. All you need is some crescent roll dough and candy eyes to make these little guys come to life. The best part? They’re as tasty as they are adorable! Whether you’re hosting a Halloween bash or just want to get into the spooky spirit, these cheese mummies are a hit.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Babybel Cheese Rounds: These little cheese wheels are the perfect size for making mummies. If you can’t find Babybel, you can use any other small, round cheese, like mini mozzarella balls, but Babybel’s wax coating makes them easy to work with.
• Crescent Roll Dough: This dough is used to create the mummy’s bandages. You can also use puff pastry or even pizza dough if that’s what you have on hand. Just make sure to roll it thin so it wraps easily around the cheese.
• Candy Eyes: These add the cute spooky look. If you don’t have candy eyes, you can use tiny pieces of black olives or peppercorns for the eyes.
• Egg Wash (Optional): Brushing a little egg wash (just a beaten egg with a splash of water) on the dough before baking can help give it a golden brown color, but it’s not necessary if you’re in a rush.

These ingredients are super simple, and you can easily substitute based on what you have in the kitchen.

The Preparation Method

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready by the time you finish preparing your mummies.
2. Unwrap the Babybel Cheese: Start by unwrapping each Babybel cheese round, removing both the plastic and wax coverings. Set them aside.
3. Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. These will be the mummy bandages.
4. Wrap the Cheese: Take a strip of dough and wrap it around each cheese round, leaving a small gap where the eyes will go. Don’t worry if it looks messy that adds to the mummy effect.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the wrapped cheese rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Egg Wash (Optional): If you want a golden finish, lightly brush each mummy with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
7. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
8. Add the Eyes: Remove the mummies from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cool, place two candy eyes in the space you left uncovered.
9. Serve: Your Babybel Cheese Mummies are ready to go. Serve them warm for the best taste.

These little mummies are easy to make and a fun way to add some Halloween spirit to your snacks.

How long will Babybel cheese last unrefrigerated?

Babybel cheese can last unrefrigerated for up to 2 hours. After that, it’s best to refrigerate it to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. If the cheese has been out for longer than 2 hours, especially in warm conditions, it’s safer to discard it. Babybel cheese, like most cheeses, is made from milk and needs to be kept cool to stay safe to eat.

How to Serve

Once your Babybel Cheese Mummies are baked and cooled slightly, they’re ready to serve! Place them on a fun Halloween-themed platter or a simple serving board. These cute little mummies are perfect for a Halloween party snack table or as a playful appetizer. They’re finger food, so no need for utensils just set them out and let everyone grab one. If you want to add a little extra spooky vibe, serve them with a small bowl of marinara or ketchup for dipping. They’re best enjoyed warm, but they’ll still be tasty if served at room temperature.
