These Cheesy Mummy Pizza Bites are a quick, fun, and delicious Halloween snack made with crescent roll dough, mozzarella sticks, and candy eyes. Ready in just 20 minutes, they’re perfect for parties and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 6 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 12 edible candy eyes
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unwrap 6 mozzarella string cheese sticks. Cut each one in half crosswise to make 12 equal pieces. Set aside.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board. If using perforated sheets, press the seams together firmly. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 12 strips, each about 1/2 inch wide.
  4. Take one piece of mozzarella and start wrapping a strip of dough around it, starting at one end and working your way to the other. Leave a small gap in the middle for the eyes. Repeat with remaining cheese and dough strips.
  5. Arrange the wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and oregano (if using). Brush this mixture generously over each mummy.
  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. While still warm, use a tiny dab of pizza sauce to ‘glue’ two candy eyes onto each mummy in the gap left earlier.
  9. Serve immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

For best results, leave a small gap in the dough wrapping for the eyes. If the cheese sticks feel soft, freeze for 5 minutes before wrapping. Start checking at 10 minutes to avoid cheese explosions. These are best served fresh but can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
