Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Puff pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 Egg
- 2 teaspoons Black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 drops Green or red food coloring (optional)
- 6 Mini pepperoni slices (for snake tongues)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon until well combined.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 3 long strips, giving you 6 strips total.
Spread a thin layer of the cheese and bacon mixture down the center of each puff pastry strip.
Fold the pastry strips lengthwise to enclose the filling, pinching the edges to seal tightly.
Gently shape each strip into a snake form by curving it and tapering one end to resemble a tail. At the other end, form a slight round head shape.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork. (Optional: Add a few drops of food coloring to the egg wash for extra Halloween fun.)
Brush the snake-shaped pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle the black sesame seeds to resemble scales. Dust lightly with paprika for color contrast.
Using a knife, create small slits on the head to form the eyes and insert 1-2 sesame seeds into the slits for pupils.
Transfer the snakes to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool for a few minutes before carefully inserting mini pepperoni slices into the snake heads as tongues.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your spooky Halloween Snake Bites!
