2 Sheets Ready-rolled puff pastry
6-8 Tablespoons Nutella (1 tablespoon for each pie. Standard-sized puff pastry sheets yield 6 pies and large sheets yield 8 pies.)
1 Small Beaten egg (for egg wash)
12-16 Candy eyes (2 for each pie)
Few Tablespoons Icing sugar (for dusting)

Preheat your oven to 220℃ (200℃ for fan ovens). Line 2 trays with baking paper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets. Use a sharp knife to cut the first sheet into 6 equal-sized rectangles (or 8 for larger sheets). Cut the second sheet into strips that are around ½-inch thick.
Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to make it easier to spread. Place 1 tablespoon onto each of the rectangles and spread it out evenly, leaving some space around the edges to prevent spillage.
Layer a few of the pastry strips diagonally over the Nutella on each rectangle to look like mummies. Make sure to leave space at the top for the eyes later.
Cut off any loose pieces then gently press the edges together with a fork to seal them.
Use a pastry brush to brush them with the beaten egg then bake for around 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown all over.
Transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
Use more Nutella on a toothpick to stick 2 candy eyes onto each mummy pie then decorate with a dusting of icing sugar.
