Pizza Skulls

Pizza Skulls – pizza pockets baked in a skull cake pan. SO easy!! Refrigerated pizza dough, pizza sauce, mozzarella, sausage, and pepperoni. Can customize each pizza pocket to everyone’s preference. Great for Halloween and The Walking Dead parties! Can bake and freeze for later!

I don’t post a lot of Halloween shaped food, but I couldn’t resist posting these Ghoulish Pizza Skulls! Aren’t they awesome!!! I just love the way it looks like guts coming out of the skull! They would be perfect for Halloween parties and after trick-o-treating.

I bought the pan from Amazon. They also sell it at Williams-Sonoma. The pizza skulls are so easy to make and customizable for everyone. We filled the pizza dough with sausage and pepperoni. Chicken Legs has requested to have his skulls filled with pepperoni, mushrooms and green pepper next time.

You can bake these ahead of time and freeze them for your party or Halloween dinner. Make sure to bake them first and then freeze them. Just thaw and reheat in the oven or microwave when you are ready to devour them!

**These would also be good for any The Walking Dead premier parties!**
