## Why You'll Love These Mozzarella Skulls

Not only will these **Mozzarella Skulls** add a whimsical touch to your table, but they're also quick and easy to whip up—perfect for busy lives that still crave a bit of creativity in the kitchen! Plus, who can resist the allure of melted cheese? These delightful snacks are totally customizable, making them a fantastic option for picky eaters. 

## Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create your own batch of cheesy, skull-shaped yumminess:

- **1 pound mozzarella cheese** (the fresher, the better!)
- **1 cup pizza dough** (store-bought, because life is busy!)
- **Black olives** (for the eyes and mouth, adding the perfect creepy touch)
- **Oil spray** (to keep things from sticking)
- **Parmesan cheese** (for a sprinkle of flavor)

### Pro Tip:
If you’re feeling adventurous, feel free to throw in some herbs or spices into your dough! Italian seasoning or garlic powder could elevate your flavor game!

## Directions

Now that we’ve gathered our supplies, let’s get to the fun part—the making!

1. **Preheat the Oven**: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will give it enough time to warm up while you prep the mozzarella skulls.

2. **Prepare Your Dough**: Roll out that pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Aim for about ¼ inch thick. (Pro-tip: Aim for that thickness like you’re rolling out cookies. We’re going for cute skull shapes, not masterpieces of modern art!)

3. **Cut the Shapes**: Use a skull-shaped cutter (if you have one), or a glass if you’re feeling creative! Place the dough cutouts on an oiled baking sheet. 

4. **Fill with Cheese**: Now, take your mozzarella cheese, and break it apart into smaller chunks. Place a generous amount in the center of each dough cutout. 

5. **Cover with another Skull**: Take another skull-shaped dough piece and place it on top, pinching the edges to seal them securely. (Don’t worry if they look a bit lopsided—it adds character!)

6. **Dress it Up**: Use a toothpick or a knife to carve out tiny eyes and mouths on your skulls, then pop in pieces of black olives for that extra touch of spooky flair!

7. **Sprinkle and Spray**: Give each skull a light spray of oil and sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.

8. **Bake to Perfection**: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Your kitchen will smell heavenly—it’s the magic of cheese, I tell you!

### Cooking Tips

- **Don’t Stress**: If they don’t look perfect, just remember: they’ll be devoured faster than you can say “boo!” It’s all about the flavor!
- **Experiment**: Try different fillings! Chopped herbs, pepperoni, or even a little marinara sauce for dipping can give you more options.
