1. Lightly grease silicone skull molds with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.

2. Combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between until smooth and stretchy.

3. Stir in salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, if using.

4. Spoon the melted cheese mixture into each skull cavity, pressing into details with a spoon or toothpick.

5. Chill molds in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours until firm, or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes for warm skulls.

6. Allow molds to cool slightly (if baked) or remove directly from fridge, then gently pop out each mozzarella skull.

7. Arrange skulls on a platter or charcuterie board; serve with crackers, olives, marinara dip, or as toppings on pasta and pizza.
