1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice (adjust to taste)
Milk (for adjusting the dip’s consistency)
For the Pie Crust Chips:
Premade pie crusts (you can use refrigerated or frozen pie crusts)
Milk (for brushing the pie crusts)
Instructions:
Making the Pumpkin Pie Dip:
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, vanilla instant pudding mix, and Cool Whip.
Stir the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Gradually add the cinnamon sugar and pumpkin pie spice to the mixture, adjusting the quantities to your personal taste. Feel free to add more or less to suit your preferences.
Once you’re satisfied with the taste and consistency, cover the dip and refrigerate it for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. You can also refrigerate it longer for a richer flavor.
Preparing the Pie Crust Chips:
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the premade pie crust packaging.
Roll out the premade pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using Halloween-themed cookie cutters, cut out various spooky shapes from the dough.
Place the pie crust shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush each shape with a bit of milk to help them turn golden brown while baking.
Sprinkle the shapes with additional cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
Bake the pie crust chips in the preheated oven as per the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Halloween is a time for ghosts, ghouls, and, most importantly, delicious treats! If you’re looking for a fun and spooky snack that will delight kids and adults alike, you’re in for a treat.

These adorable mummy-shaped hand pies are not only delicious but also a perfect addition to your Halloween party spread. Best of all, they’re easy to make, and kids can join in on the fun!
To get started on these delectable mummy hand pies, you’ll need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
Pre-made pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
Chocolate peanut butter (or a mixture of chocolate spread and regular peanut butter)
Sprinkles for eyes
Egg wash (1 egg mixed with water)
Confectioners sugar
Instructions:
Roll Out the Pie Crusts: Start by rolling out your pre-made pie crusts on a floured surface. This will make the dough easier to work with. Using a rectangle cookie cutter, cut out circles from the pie crusts. These will serve as the base for your mummy hand pies.
Add Chocolate Peanut Butter: Take each rectangle and spread a generous amount of chocolate peanut butter (or a mixture of chocolate spread and regular peanut butter) in the center. Leave some space around the edges to seal the hand pies later.
Create the Mummy Look: To give your hand pies a mummy appearance, take another small piece of pie crust dough and cut it into thin strips. Lay these strips over the chocolate peanut butter-covered circles to create the “bandages.” Make sure to leave a small gap for the eyes.
Add Mini Chocolate Chip Eyes: Place two mini chocolate chips on each hand pie to serve as the mummy’s eyes. You can use a bit of the peanut butter mixture to help them stick in place.
Brush the mummies with egg wash.
Bake: Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the pie crust packaging. Place your mummy hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them for the recommended time or until they turn golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy: Once your mummy hand pies are out of the oven and have cooled down a bit, sprinkles with confectioners sugar and these spooky treats to your little goblins! They’re perfect for Halloween parties, school lunches, or a fun family baking project.
