  • Instructions

    1. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets.

    2. Make mini monster pizzas: spread sauce on muffin halves, top with mozzarella, add olive “eyes” and pepper “mouths.”

    3. Bake pizzas 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and edges are crisp; set aside.

    4. Make mummy hot dogs: cut dough into thin strips, wrap mini sausages leaving eye gaps.

    5. Bake mummies 10–12 minutes until golden; dot mustard or ketchup for eyes.

    6. Make ghost bananas: brush cut bananas with lemon juice, press mini chips for eyes and regular chip for mouth.

    7. Make pumpkin tangerines: insert small celery stems into peeled tangerines.

    8. Make witch hat cookies: dot orange icing on each cookie, press a chocolate kiss on top; let set.

    9. Build veggie skeleton: place dip cup as head, arrange celery ribs, carrot arms/legs, cucumber joints, tomatoes as buttons.

    10. Assemble platter: set veggie skeleton centerpiece, add pizzas, mummies, ghosts, pumpkins, and hats around.

    11. Fill gaps with popcorn or pretzels; add edible candy eyes to snacks for a spooky look.

    12. Label any allergens (gluten, dairy) and keep cold items chilled until serving.
