These spooky low syn sausage mummies are made by wrapping strips of ready made puff pastry around sausages to create a a mummy effect. They are a real treat to delight all of the family this Halloween. This unofficial recipe is perfect for any one following Slimming World, Weight Watchers or a calorie controlled diet.
Trick or Treating (or guising as it is called here in Scotland) has been cancelled this year (2020) but this doesn’t mean Halloween is a no show! It is just around the corner and if you are hosting a party indoors these cute yet spooky Sausage Mummies are the perfect low syn* treat that the kids will love too!
These are such fun to make and will certainly impress. I use 62g of Tesco Ready Rolled Light Puff Pastry per sausage. Just cut into strips and wrap around the sausages.
The eyes can be created in two ways.. firstly you can use edible eyes which are the easy way (available here on AMAZON) or use a tiny blob of low fat soft cheese with chopped up Black olives or a Black peppercorn. (Honestly the edible eyes are the easiest)
Why you’ll love this recipe….

Don’t like Slimming World sausages?
I recommend using Slimming World sausages to keep this recipe Syn Free*. But if you cannot find them or simply don’t like them there are plenty of sausage alternatives including vegetarian options. Just remember to Syn accordingly.
I have found that sausage mummies work better with a dip.. Ketchup and BBQ sauce can be high in Syns. Try out one of my Syn free alternative recipes.
