Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Dough

  • 8 Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks
  • 2 tubes (8 ounces each) of refrigerated crescent rolls

Decorations and Glaze

  • 1 egg white
  • 16 candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Freeze the Cheese: Place the mozzarella string cheese sticks in the freezer for 2 to 4 hours until fully frozen. This helps them keep their shape and prevents excessive melting during baking.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the mummies.
  3. Prepare the Dough Base: Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and press the seams of two triangles together. Then slice this combined dough piece evenly in half to create a base to wrap around the cheese stick.
  4. Wrap the Cheese: Take one frozen mozzarella stick and wrap one half of the prepared dough around it completely, making sure the cheese stick is fully covered. Press the dough edges firmly to seal it well. Repeat for all 8 cheese sticks.
  5. Make the Bandages: Unroll the second tube of crescent dough, press all seams together, and roll it out to about ½ inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut thin strips that will act as the mummy’s bandages.
  6. Wrap Bandages: Wrap and twist these dough strips around each cheese-wrapped stick in a random, spooky mummy pattern until fully bandaged.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Place the mummy mozzarella sticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  8. Chill Dough: Chill the wrapped mummies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the dough keep its shape and prevents spreading while baking.
  9. Apply Egg Wash: Brush each mummy cheese stick lightly with beaten egg white to give them a golden shine during baking.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melty inside.
  11. Add the Eyes: Immediately after removing the mummies from the oven, press two candy eyes into the top of each stick while they are still hot to help the eyes stick.

Notes

  • Freezing the cheese sticks is essential to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
  • Brushing the dough with egg white ensures a beautiful golden finish and helps the candy eyes adhere.
  • Use parchment paper or foil to easily clean the baking tray and prevent sticking.
  • Chilling the wrapped dough before baking helps maintain the mummy shape and improves texture.
