- Skipping the eyes which reduces the spooky effect.
Storage and reheating instructions
Store leftover mummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for five to seven minutes until warm. You can also freeze them before baking by placing them on a tray until firm and then storing in a freezer bag. Bake from frozen by adding three to five minutes to the cook time.
