Spooky Face Pop Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (contains 2 crusts)
• 4 tbsp strawberry jam (thicker jam works best)
• 1 drop red gel food coloring
• ½ drop black gel food coloring
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep – Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dough – Lightly flour a surface and unroll both pie crusts.
3. Make the Jam Filling – In a small bowl, mix the strawberry jam with the red and black gel food coloring to create a deep, eerie red filling.
4. Assemble the Base – Place one pie crust onto the lined baking sheet and spread the jam mixture evenly, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
5. Create the Spooky Face – Take the second pie crust and cut out two large circles for eyes, small slits for the nose, and a creepy mouth shape using a knife.
6. Seal the Pop Tart – Carefully place the cut-out pie crust over the jam-covered base. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
7. Egg Wash – In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the top of the pop tart with the egg wash for a golden, crisp finish.
8. Bake – Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
9. Cool & Serve – Let the halloween pop tart cool slightly before serving. If any jam oozes out, it only adds to the spooky, “bloody” effect!

Pro Tips:

• Use a small round cookie cutter for perfect eye holes.
• Swap the jam for raspberry or cherry for a richer red filling.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before baking for extra flavor.

This Halloween, serve up a treat that’s both spooky and scrumptious! These Halloween Pop Tarts are sure to thrill your family and guests. Happy baking! 🎃👻
