I’m not sure if it’s the fact that Halloween decor has been on display in most major retail stores since the beginning of August, or if it’s just the change in the air that’s hinting at the arrival of Fall and all things Halloween, but I feel like I’ve had the song “The Monster Mash” stuck in my head for weeks.
Do you remember that song? It came out ages ago, but it’s always been a favorite of mine. It really has a way of getting me in the Halloween spirit more so than anything else. I finally broke down and decided to play it the other day just to see if it’d help get it unstuck from my head. In hindsight that was kind of a bad idea, because it really only made the situation worse. But myy daughter got to hear it for the first time, and she really thought it was a graveyard smash watching her Mommy do the monster mash!
And here I sit, still singing the song over and over in my head. So what’s a girl to do when she’s got monsters on the brain? I channeled my inner mad scientist and concocted the perfect little mummified treats to celebrate the season!
These candies can be made in just a few minutes, making them perfect for little kids to assist with. If you’ve got a halloween party coming up, make a batch of these chocolaty mummies and give everyone a fright! I used chocolate hazelnut piroulines because my family LOVES them, but you could just as well use pretzel stick rods if you wanted!
I always keep almond bark in my pantry. It’s perfect for making all sorts of little confections and I love that it dries so quickly. I simply heated it up in a microwave safe bowl and dipped each priouline in, making sure it was coated well. I then stuck on some candy eyeballs and drizzled a little more almond bark over them to create the mummy-wrapped look. Easy peasy!
