These Kid-Approved Mozzarella Mummy Pizza Bites are a quick and easy Halloween snack that comes together in under 20 minutes. Made with simple ingredients like pizza dough, string cheese, and marinara, they’re a fun and delicious way to feed the kids before trick-or-treating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 6 sticks mozzarella string cheese, each cut in half crosswise to make 12 pieces
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 12 small candy eyes
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 12×8 inches and 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 long strips, each about 1 inch wide.
  4. Cut each string cheese stick in half crosswise to make 12 pieces, each about 2 inches long.
  5. Take one strip of dough and wrap it around a piece of string cheese, starting at one end and going to the other. Leave a small gap near the top for the eyes. Do not wrap too tightly.
  6. Place the wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with garlic powder and oregano. Brush this mixture over each mummy. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Press a candy eye into the gap at the top of each mummy.
  10. Warm the marinara sauce and serve with the mummies for dipping.

Notes

Don’t wrap the dough too tightly around the cheese to prevent bursting. Assemble up to 4 hours in advance and refrigerate. For freezing, assemble and freeze before baking; bake from frozen at 400°F for 14-16 minutes.
