Icky Intestines for your Halloween Guests
Bwa-ha-ha-haaaaa! These gory and gross intestines are actually freakishly delicious!
I’m bringing this pic back from last year, because I’m sure those of you that are planning your night of fright are looking for fun things to serve up to your ghosts and goblins! These intestines are super quick to make, and the filling can either be savory or sweet, depending on whether you want to serve them as an appetizer, main or dessert. I like to fill mine with guacamole, but am contemplating filling them with empanada filling this year. You could really fill them with anything….a couple of ideas would be to use spanakopita filling, sloppy joe filling, or for a sweet version, fill it with nutella or vanilla pastry cream and some jam. I save a huge chunk of time by buying premade puff pastry for these. Usually the day of the party there is always so much putzy stuff to do, so the quicker the better!
Check out the step by step photos HERE.
Ingredients:
1 pound (400 grams) packaged puff pastry
1 recipe of guacamole (or filling of choice)
1 egg, beaten
food coloring and a small paint brush
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375ºF/190ºC.
Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Now, you’ll need to cut your pastry into long rectangular strips and paste them together (brush a little beaten egg and press down–it doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect, after baking, the seams don’t show anyway) to form a loooooong strip of dough.
Spread your filling down the entire center of the dough, leaving a bit of space on each side to pinch closed.
Brush the edges with a little egg and pinch the whole thing closed.
Carefully lift the intestine onto the baking sheet and form an intestine looking thing, rolling it over so the pinched edge is on the bottom.
Brush the pastry with beaten egg.
Dip your small brush into some red food coloring (I added a little blue, too, to get a darker color) and paint on the “blood.”
Bake for about 20 minutes, just until golden, but not overly brown.
I’m hoping to get pics of the process when I make this this year to give you a better picture of what I’m explaining rather badly in words. lmao
Enjoy! And try not to scare the pants off of your guests! Unless, you know, you’re into that sort of thing. 
This is great! I’ll seriously consider making this for my dinner on the 31st.
Thanks for the inspiration!

How fun! I haven’t even thought of Halloween food yet. I’m lovin’ your ‘gross’ posts
Nikki, 2 years now & you making the awesomest, scariest Halloween goodies out there!
haha, this is great and yeah, they do sound delicious!
Bwaaaaaaahhhhhhh…scary stuff Nikki. Very goulish for those trick or treaters young and old (or lets say kids at heart:D
These are hilarious, the thought of guac in these really grosses me out for some reason…
I picture these with more of a fruity filling.
Great idea either way.
You are really getting into the spirit!
Before you know it, you’ll be ordering those brain gelatin molds online!
Nikki, you are so creative! This looks great! Mmmm, guacamole…
Very clever Nikki! It looks so good!
So clever! and realistic! and best of all, easy. Definitly on my todo list
OMG, those look absolutely disgusting…
I think that’s one of the things I could make, but could not eat, lol.
Oh now I love you for sure! This is awesome my Halloween sister! Thank you!

Furious, aren’t they fun? Fun to gross out the party goers. hehe
Val, aren’t they just gross? hee!
Jon…I was *trying* to gross you out. lmfao But yeah! I think a sweet filling would be great in these!
Mark, don’t think I haven’t tried. Don’t think I haven’t tried….I have to make my *own* dang brain shape. By hand. The horror! lol

that’s so freakin’ realistic, i’m not sure i could eat it! oh, wait–there’s guacamole inside? yeah, i could definitely get past the look of it.
great creation!
Oh my GOD… I know you don’t show the inside of this pastry but just THINKING about what the guacamole must look like is turning my stomach.
I love it.
Dear Nikki you are really the dream of my daugther, she only want I kae some horror things to Hallowen and she saw a little tumbs cookiess!!! and she want I make them. !!!!!! helpp (are so cute) xxxGloria
This looks surprisingly like a dish that a Bosnian friend of mine makes, but she uses mince in the filling and filo on the outside…but when it’s cooked? Totally intestine. LOVE. IT.
These are outrageously awesome! Love the combination… and the fact that it looks utterly realistic is truly fantastic.
Sooo – can I just tell you how much I’m loving this? I saw it on tastespotting and I knew I needed to add you as my new friend – lol!

This looks so fun and easy! I might try it with cherry pie filling and cream cheese or something. Depends on what the rest of the crowd is bringing. Thanks for the great idea!

Pretty realistic Nik – I’d love to serve this to my niece and nephew and watch them go “Euuuwww”
That is the most deliciously disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.
Nikki, these intestines are awesome!!! I can’t wait to freak out my Halloween guests with them!!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe with us. We are excited to have it in this week’s FoodieView Recipe Roundup!
girl you’re so crazy!
I love this freaky ass creation.
Disgusting!! I love it!!!!
These look disgustingly delicious, Nikki!
my hubby and I watched the Iron Chef Halloween special last night where the secret ingredient was “offal.” They used gross things like duck tongues, tripe, chitlins, pig feet, etc. He walked by the computer while I was perusing your recipe and thought I was looking at “offal” again..*lol* After I told him what it really was, he’s all for making this for our Halloween party…it looks disgustingly fantastic! Thanks for sharing
I am wondering if the guacamole is going to turn to moosh in the oven though…*ponders*
this is so gross, it’s funny!!
Hey Nikki!
These look awesome. I took the liberty to make my own version and filled them with Peanut butter and Nutella!
They turned out pretty sinful. Check it out:
