Ingredients Overview

- 8 oz mozzarella block
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 20 cherry tomatoes
- 20 mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

Step-by-Step Instructions
1) Prep Ingredients
Cut the mozzarella block into small cubes. Cut the bell peppers into fun “mouth” and “eye” shapes. Drain the olives and pat dry.
2) Assemble Spooky Patterns
- Create eyeball skewers by alternating black olive + mozzarella cube + green olive.
- Make ghost skewers by threading mozzarella balls with cherry tomatoes or bell pepper “mouths.”
Alternate colors for high contrast and add pepper shapes at the top of each skewer for monster faces.
3) Display on a Platter
Arrange all skewers on a festive black or dark platter decorated with mini pumpkins or herbs to create a Halloween scene.
Storage & Make-Ahead
Assemble skewers up to 4 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.
For the best appearance, add any delicate decorations just before serving to avoid moisture.
Tips for Success
- Use shorter skewers for kids to avoid pokes.
- Mix textures (soft mozzarella + crisp peppers + juicy tomatoes) for a satisfying bite.
- Create themes (all “eyeball” skewers, all “ghost” skewers) to match your décor.
Variations
- Sweet skewers: marshmallows + chocolate chips + grapes.
- Vegan skewers: tofu cubes, roasted chickpeas, veggies.
- Spicy adult version: add jalapeño slices or spicy salami.
