Ingredients List
- 8 mozzarella sticks
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Black olives (for eyes)
How to Prepare Mummy Mozzarella Sticks
Alright, let’s get those Mummy Mozzarella Sticks ready! It’s super easy and a lot of fun, so grab your ingredients and let’s jump right in!
Preheat the Oven
First things first, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Trust me, this step is crucial! Preheating helps ensure your sticks bake evenly and get that golden, crispy texture we all love. If you skip this, you might end up with some soggy mummies, and nobody wants that!
Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough
Now it’s time to tackle the crescent roll dough. Unroll it carefully on a clean surface and cut it into thin strips. Aim for about half an inch wide—this will help them wrap nicely around the mozzarella sticks. Don’t worry too much about making them perfect; just keep them roughly the same size so they cook evenly. The more strips you have, the more mummy wraps you can create!
Wrap the Mozzarella Sticks
Next up, grab your mozzarella sticks and start wrapping! Take a strip of dough and gently wrap it around each stick, leaving some gaps here and there to give that spooky mummy vibe. You can even twist the dough a bit to make it look more like bandages. Let your creativity shine! Just remember, the more gaps you leave, the more cheese will ooze out, which is a total bonus!
Bake and Add Eyes
Once all your sticks are wrapped, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give them a nice egg wash by beating the egg and brushing it over the dough—this helps achieve that beautiful golden color. Then, pop them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and puffed up. When they’re done, take them out and quickly add your black olive pieces for eyes. How cute do they look? Enjoy the spooky fun!
Nutritional Information
Alright, let’s talk nutrition! These Mummy Mozzarella Sticks are not only adorable but also pretty reasonable when it comes to calories. Each serving has about 150 calories, which isn’t too bad for a fun snack. You’ll find around 10 grams of fat, with 5 grams of that being saturated fat. They pack in about 7 grams of protein, thanks to the mozzarella, and have around 10 grams of carbohydrates. Just a heads up, these values are estimates, but they give you a nice idea of what you’re munching on. Perfect for a Halloween treat without going overboard!

Tips for Success
Here are some of my favorite tips to make your Mummy Mozzarella Sticks even more amazing! First off, don’t be afraid to experiment with the crescent roll dough. If you want a little kick, try adding some Italian seasoning or garlic powder right into the dough before wrapping. It really elevates the flavor!
Also, be sure to keep the strips of dough thin but not too fragile; you want them to hold together while baking. If you notice the dough is getting too warm and sticky, pop it in the fridge for a few minutes before wrapping the cheese. It’ll make your life so much easier!
Lastly, keep an eye on them while they bake. Ovens can be tricky, and you want that perfect golden brown without burning. If they’re browning too fast, just cover them loosely with some aluminum foil. Happy baking!
Serving Suggestions
These Mummy Mozzarella Sticks are absolutely delicious on their own, but let’s make them even more special with some fun serving ideas! I love to pair them with a warm bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. The tangy sauce complements the gooey cheese so well—it’s like a match made in heaven!
You could also consider serving them alongside some spooky-themed snacks, like pumpkin-shaped cheese balls or festively decorated veggies. And if you want to add a little crunch, some crispy garlic bread or even a fresh salad could balance things out. Whatever you choose, your guests will be thrilled!
Storage & Reheating Instructions
So, if you happen to have any Mummy Mozzarella Sticks left over (which is rare but can happen!), here’s how to store them! Let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep well for about 3 days. Just make sure you separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking!
When you’re ready to enjoy them again, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sticks on a baking sheet and warm them up for about 5-7 minutes. This will help restore that delightful crispy texture. Trust me, they’ll taste just as good as when they were fresh!
