Prep Time: 40 min.
Kids will love these delightful Halloween Sausage Rolls featuring spooky bones, fingers, and mummies. They make the ultimate Halloween party food and are great to stick in a lunchbox too.
This fun recipe is super easy since you only need rectangular store-bought pizza dough, sausages, and candy eyes. If you prefer not to use candy eyes, use a dollop of mayo and black sesame seeds instead.
You can also use readymade rolled puff pastry for these (just keep an eye on the baking time). You can even find readymade sausage roll dough in some stores, which works, too.
Serve individually or together on one platter with any red dip or salsa you like (I used a chili and tomato sauce), but ketchup would also work well.
I've included the instructions for each individually below if you choose to make only one of the rolls.
