Spooky Pop Tart Ghosts
- Author: Emily
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 12-15 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1/2 cup fruit preserves (or your favorite filling like Nutella or chocolate spread)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- Mini chocolate chips (for ghost eyes)
- Flour (for dusting)
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll Out the Pie Crust:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pie crusts. Using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter, cut out an even number of ghost shapes from the dough (you can use a knife to cut freehand if you don’t have a cutter).
- Fill the Pop Tarts:
- Place half of the ghost-shaped dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of fruit preserves or your favorite filling into the center of each ghost, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Seal the Pop Tarts:
- Brush the edges of the filled ghosts with a little egg wash. Top with another ghost-shaped piece of dough, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
- Bake:
- Brush the tops of the ghost Pop Tarts with more egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the Pop Tarts are golden brown. Let them cool completely before decorating.
- Make the Icing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make a thick icing. You want it to be thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to spread.
- Decorate the Ghosts:
- Once the Pop Tarts are cool, spread the icing over the top of each ghost to create a ghostly white coating. Add two mini chocolate chips or dots of icing for the eyes.
- Serve:
- Let the icing set for 10-15 minutes, then serve your spooky Pop Tart Ghosts!
