Print Recipe

Quick and fun mummy-shaped pizza bites made with refrigerated pizza dough, mozzarella string cheese, and candy eyeballs. Perfect for a Halloween dinner or party snack that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce (for dipping)
  • 16 candy eyeballs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the can of refrigerated pizza dough and unroll it onto a lightly floured cutting board. Roll it into a rectangle about 12×8 inches.
  3. Cut the dough into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide and 6-8 inches long. You’ll need about 3-4 strips per mummy.
  4. Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick in half crosswise to make 16 short cheese sticks.
  5. Take one piece of cheese and place it at the end of a dough strip. Wrap the dough strip around the cheese, slightly overlapping, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes. Repeat with remaining cheese and dough strips. Place each wrapped mummy on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, about 1 inch apart.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Brush this mixture over the tops of the mummies.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. While still warm, press two candy eyeballs into the exposed cheese at the top of each mummy.
  9. Serve warm with pizza sauce or marinara on the side for dipping.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature string cheese. Leave a gap at the top of each mummy for the eyes. If dough strips are too long, trim them. If too short, press two strips together gently. Assemble up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate; add 2-3 minutes to bake time if baking from cold.
