We are well into October and I think it’s a great time to start sharing a few easy Halloween recipes! I don’t have a lot of Halloween related content on the blog, but there are a few recipes of interest like the Witches Broomsticks. the Halloween Guacamole, Mummy Sausage Rolls and a fun Halloween Macaroni & Cheese. Oh, I almost forgot the Double Chocolate Cupcakes. Those are worth making! So, over the next few weeks I plan to share a few more Halloween inspired recipes. Stay tuned friends!

What is this Halloween Pastry Like

• Difficulty – This is a very easy recipe just using a few ingredients and it takes only about 30 minutes!
• Taste – For such a simple dessert or brunch this Halloween season, this delivers so much flavour and is pretty as well. Much like the Easy Nutella Pastries.
• Serving – I used various Halloween shaped cookie cutters and used two sheets of puff pastry. I got 18 puff pastry shapes.
• Versatile – You can choose to add your own spin on flavours by adding hazelnuts, sliced almonds, pecans, frosting and so much more.

Ingredients

• Puff pastry – I used two frozen ready to roll pastry sheets for this recipe.
• Nutella – Store bought Nutella (chocolate spread) was my choice.
• Topping – I used an egg wash and a sprinkle of sugar for the topping.
• Cookie cutters – I used a variety of Halloween cookie cutter shapes.

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 350 degrees f/180 degrees c. Have ready a large baking tray lined with parchment paper.
2. Lay out pastry – Lay the cold pastry sheet on a sheet of parchment paper. Evenly spread over the Nutella and then top with the other puff pastry sheet.
3. Cut out pastry – Using your Halloween cookie cutters, cut out as many shapes as you can. I got 18 in total with my cookie cutters.
4. Bake – Brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed up.
5. Serve – Remove from oven and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

• Prep ahead of time – This can be prepared up to 8 hours before baking. Just cover it and refrigerate it until baking. Don’t brush with the egg wash until just before baking.
• Use cold puff pastry – Cold puff pastry is much easier to work with, so be sure to keep it in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
• Don’t over fill the pastry – Overfilling will cause the Nutella to spread out too much and run down the sides of the pastry.

Substitutions and Flavour Changes

• Use a different pastry – Puff pastry works best for this recipe, but you can use filo or shortcrust. Just remember, the results will be different and may require different baking times.
• Add fruit filling – You could use any flavoured jam like marmalade (orange), peach, raspberry, strawberry or other flavours you might like.
• Try a different chocolate – Instead of nutella, you can use chocolate chips inside. They will melt as it baked.
• Make a glaze for the top – By combining about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk, you can make a basic sugar glaze. Just drizzle over the top.
• Make a different shape – You don’t have to be limited to Halloween shapes for this recipe. You could make turnovers, cut into triangles, scrolls, pinwheels, swirls, sticks or squares. You can put your own twist on it easily.
