Pizza Skull Bombs

These are the most delicious pizza bombs that are shaped like skull, and are the perfect ones to go in your Halloween menu. These will be a hit with kids and adults. The red marinara and green pesto mimic blood and zombie blood, and the melting, stringy mozzarella  make these the amazing and fun Halloween food.

 

Life happens and we need fun and easy recipes to make our Halloween entertaining easier. That’s why I am suggesting these pizza skull bombs. I have given the recipe for pizza crust to make 12 pizza bombs. The dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for 24 hours if you have a time crunch. One pound store bought pizza dough can also be used in this recipe.

These are regular pizza bombs but baked in a skull shaped pan giving the shape. I have used a silicone mini skull pan for baking these. I had seen the metal skull pans last year, and when I planned to shop, they were all gone. I found these silicone one. The bake was lighter in color and I would update the results about the baked pizza color once I tried these with the metal pan.

 

 

Who doesn’t love pizza? Especially, kids go nuts over pizza. Melting and cheese oozing pizza bombs are always a super hit. These are a meal by itself, and the kids would be more than happy with these. Now, that’s a warning that you might have to make more of these!

 

Why are these the apt ones for Halloween? The red marinara sauce mimics the blood and the basil pesto would be zombie blood. A little of the sauce and cheese may ooze out while baking, and this gives the effect of blood. Either marinara or pesto, or a combination of both can be used. You can make half with marinara and half the pizza bombs with pesto. It is totally your personal choice. Since these are shaped like a skull, with the red and green sauce, these sound an ideal candidate for Halloween party food.

I have been sharing stuffed Halloween recipes for this week ‘s Blogging Marathon, and this is my final recipe for this week’s theme. Earlier, I had shared Palak Paneer Zombie Intestine and Samosa Mummies. Be sure to try these recipes and let me know how you loved them.
