Spooky Pop Tart Ghosts

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 12 tablespoons milk
  • Mini chocolate chips (for ghost eyes)
  • Flour (for dusting)

Instructions

  • 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!
