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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon until well combined.

Step 3

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 3 long strips, giving you 6 strips total.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of the cheese and bacon mixture down the center of each puff pastry strip.

Step 5

Fold the pastry strips lengthwise to enclose the filling, pinching the edges to seal tightly.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.)

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Using a knife, create small slits on the head to form the eyes and insert 1-2 sesame seeds into the slits for pupils.

Step 10

Transfer the snakes to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Let cool for a few minutes before carefully inserting mini pepperoni slices into the snake heads as tongues.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your spooky Halloween Snake Bites!
