MACARONI MADE: PIZZA MUMMIES

October 15, 2009

Surprise your family with disguised edibles dressed-up like spooky snacks any time of year. Kids can help by spooning the pizza sauce on the English muffin and making the mummy face with the cheese and vegetables.

You need:

  • English muffins
  • Pizza sauce
  • Black olives
  • Scallions
  • Red or green pepper
  • Cheese sticks or slices

Directions:

  1. Heat the oven to 350° F. For each mummy, spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto half of an English muffin (toast it first, if you like).
  2. Set olive slices in place for eyes and add round slices of green onion or bits of red or green pepper for pupils.
  3. Lay strips of cheese (we used a pulled-apart cheese stick) across the muffin for the mummy’s wrappings.
  4. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the muffin is toasty.
