These Ghost Puff Pastry Bites are flaky, cheesy, and frightfully fun! Shaped like little ghosts and filled with melted mozzarella or savory cream cheese, they puff up golden and airy in the oven—perfect for Halloween parties, spooky movie nights, or school snacks.
The first time I made them, I used ghost cookie cutters on a whim. I didn’t expect them to turn out so cute (and delicious!). They were buttery, warm, and gone in minutes. The best part? They’re super easy to make using store-bought puff pastry and a simple filling.
These ghost bites are completely customizable. Try pepperoni and mozzarella for a pizza-style filling, or go sweet with Nutella and a dusting of powdered sugar. Either way, they’re hauntingly good.
Whether you’re putting together a Halloween appetizer board or just need a spooky snack that’s not candy, these ghost puff pastry bites will disappear—fast.
