Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (13.8 oz / 390 g) refrigerated pizza dough
- 8 oz (225 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) pizza sauce
- 8 mini sausages
- 1 sheet (8 oz / 225 g) puff pastry
- 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese
- 1 cup (240 g) sour cream
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups (450 g) popped popcorn
- 1/2 cup (85 g) chocolate chips
- 1 cup (150 g) assorted Halloween candies
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Black olives, for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into small rectangles or rounds. Spread each piece with pizza sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella.
- Cut additional mozzarella into thin strips. Arrange the strips over the pizzas to resemble mummy bandages, leaving room for eyes.
- Bake the mini pizzas for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Allow them to cool slightly and decorate with small pieces of black olive.
- Cut the puff pastry into thin strips. Wrap the strips around the mini sausages, leaving space for their faces.
- Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake according to the pastry package directions until golden and crisp.
- Beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Pipe sour cream circles across the surface and drag a toothpick through them to create a spiderweb design. Add an olive spider if desired.
- Spread the popped popcorn across a baking sheet. Melt the chocolate chips in short microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn, sprinkle with Halloween candies, and let the chocolate set before breaking the popcorn into clusters.
- Arrange the pizzas, sausage bites, dip, and popcorn on serving platters. Add crackers or vegetable sticks alongside the dip.
- Serve warm appetizers promptly, keep perishable dips chilled, and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
