Step away from the candy. There’s a new low-carb treat in town and it’s called Halloween Mummy Celery Sticks.
While this recipe doesn’t require a ton of ingredients, it does require patience and practice. Don’t attempt them on a day when you’re feeling extremely stressed out.
Make sure your turkey is shaved as thinly as possible before you start. Trust me, it will save you some frustration.
And, while I love cooking with my 4-year-old niece, I’m really glad I didn’t attempt making these mummies with her. She did enjoy eating them, though.
