I have a clients / families I work with for recipe requests, grocery lists and weekly meal plans. Every once in a blue moon, one will request a recipe makeover and those are some of my favorite assignments ever.

Turns out, someone was a fan of little smokies sausages. Now this sweet kid is more of a friend to animals than a meat eater…

but he still wanted his Little Halloween Mummies!

Kid Friendly Recipe

Mini carrots are the perfect size substitution – they are definitely a kid friendly Halloween recipe! I made up a marinade, let those mini carrots swim around in it for the night, and got ready for some fun.

I made these by simply draping the pie crust over the carrot, so the mummy wrap only goes about 3/4 the way around the carrot.

My little helper wanted to wind that mummy wrap all the way around, so he did! We cooked a batch of each – both methods work well.

This recipe is totally kid friendly – both in the fact that they have fun helping make them AND they love to eat them! Make sure they have their favorite dipping sauces ready for those Mini Carrot Mummies…
