Ingredients for Coffin Pop Tarts
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Pie Crust: Ready to bake refrigerated pie crust (I used Pillsbury brand, you can find it in the refrigerated section).
- Jelly: Any flavor (I’m partial to strawberry pop tarts, though!)
- Coffin cookie cutter
How to Make Coffin Pop Tarts
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350º F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil. I used a baking stone.
Sprinkle flour on a cutting board or clean countertop, and unroll one pie crust. You’re going to want chilled dough for these.
Use the coffin cookie cutter to cut 12 coffin shapes from the pie crust.
With a spoon, add a small amount of jelly filling into the center of the pie crust as shown. Be sure to keep the filling away from the pastry edges so your pop tarts don’t leak in the oven. The goal here is definitely don’t overfill.
Step 2: Carefully place the remaining coffin pieces on top of the jelly.
Step 3: Use the fork tines to seal the edges of each pop tart. The fork tines are perfect to help seal the jelly inside the coffin pop tarts.
Step 4: Poke a few small holes on the top of your pop tarts with a fork so steam can escape. This will prevent them from ending up big and puffy.
Bake in a 350º oven for 20-25 minutes or until slightly brown.

Step 5: Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
After the pop tarts cool completely, fill a piping bag or sandwich bag with vanilla frosting. You can also buy a small tube of white cookie icing.
Cut a small hole in one corner of the piping bag, pipe a spiderweb on top. If you’re not an artist, decorate with Halloween sprinkles instead!
Recipe Tips
- You can top these with powdered sugar instead of frosting if you’d like–it’s delicious!
- If you have any remaining coffin pop tarts, store in an airtight container and refrigerate. If you have many remaining, be sure to put parchment paper in between the coffins if you need to stack them on top of each other.

Loved making these!
Using a fork to crimp the sides closed doesn’t work
I’m sorry this didn’t work for you–was there filling in there maybe?
