HECK! Sausage Spiders

Makes 6 spiders

Spooky, simple and properly fun.

These HECK! Sausage Spiders are made with golden puff pastry, juicy HECK! Pork Sausages, chia seed “hair” and edible eyes. Perfect for Halloween parties, kids’ teas or a creepy little snack that’s more tasty than terrifying.

What you’ll need

• 1 pack HECK! Pork Sausages, you’ll need 2 sausages

• 1 pack ready-rolled puff pastry

• 1 egg, beaten

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• Edible eyes

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.

2. Place the HECK! Pork Sausages onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Leave to cool slightly, then slice each sausage into 3 pieces.

3. Unroll the puff pastry and slice into 6 rectangles.

4. Brush each pastry rectangle with beaten egg, then place one piece of sausage in the centre.

5. Roll the pastry around the sausage tightly, pressing the sides together to seal.

6. Slice 4 strips of pastry on each side of the sausage to create the spider legs, then gently pull them out to lengthen.

7. Place the sausage spiders onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

8. Brush with more egg wash, then sprinkle with chia seeds.

9. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, crisp and golden.

10. Stick edible eyes onto each spider to finish, then serve and enjoy.

Top Tip

Let the sausages cool before wrapping them in pastry - it makes the spiders easier to shape and helps the pastry stay neat.
