Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Mummy Sticks (Air Fryer Hack)

Gathering your ingredients is the first step to creating these delightful Cinnamon Roll Mummy Sticks (Air Fryer Hack)! Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 tube pre-made cinnamon rolls
  • 1 container pre-made cinnamon roll icing
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (30g)

For Decoration

  • 10 candy eyeballs

That’s it! With just a few simple ingredients, you’re all set to make a spooky treat that’s sure to impress and satisfy everyone at your Halloween celebration!

How to Prepare Cinnamon Roll Mummy Sticks (Air Fryer Hack)

Now that you’ve got your ingredients ready, let’s dive into making these adorable Cinnamon Roll Mummy Sticks (Air Fryer Hack)! It’s super simple, and I promise the kids will love helping with this.

  1. Bake the cinnamon rolls: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) if needed—check your model’s instructions! Open the tube of pre-made cinnamon rolls and lay them out in the fryer basket in a single layer. No need to crowd them; give them some space! Cook for about 10 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking!
  2. Cool completely: Once they’re done, carefully remove the rolls and transfer them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely—this is super important before decorating; trust me, warm rolls and icing don’t mix well!
  3. Prepare for decorating: While they cool, fit a piping bag with a basketweave tip and fill it with the pre-made cinnamon roll icing. If you haven’t piped before, don’t stress! Just practice a little on a paper towel first, and you’ll be a pro in no time.
  4. Decorate like a mummy: Now the fun part! Pipe lines of icing across each cooled cinnamon roll. Make sure the jagged side is facing down—this gives the mummies their mysterious appearance! Top off each roll with two candy eyeballs using the icing to help them stick.

Tips for Success with Cinnamon Roll Mummy Sticks (Air Fryer Hack)

To ensure your Cinnamon Roll Mummy Sticks (Air Fryer Hack) turn out perfectly, here are my top tips!

  • Even Cooking: Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Give each roll a little breathing room so they cook evenly and get that nice golden finish. If your air fryer is small, consider baking in batches.
  • Watch the Time: Keep an eye on the cinnamon rolls as they bake. Every air fryer heats a bit differently, so check for that golden brown color around the 8-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
  • Piping Perfection: When decorating, practice a bit on a paper towel before piping on the mummies. It helps you get the feel for the pressure needed to create those fun mummy “bandages.”
  • Customize Your Decorations: Feel free to get creative! Add sprinkles or edible decorations alongside the candy eyeballs for even more fun—making them your own is part of the joy!
