Print Recipe

These adorable mummy pizza bites are a quick and easy Halloween snack made with crescent roll dough, mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and olive eyes. Ready in under 20 minutes, they are perfect for parties, classroom treats, or a fun dinner before trick-or-treating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough sheets
  • 8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 24 to 32 small pitted black olives (or sliced olives)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter, for brushing
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto a clean cutting board. If using perforated crescent rolls, press the seams together firmly. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/2-inch wide.
  3. Cut the mozzarella block into 1-inch cubes. You will need one cube per mummy.
  4. Take one cheese cube and place it at one end of a dough strip. Wrap the strip around the cheese, overlapping slightly as you go, like bandaging. Leave a small gap at the top for the eyes. Do not wrap too tightly. Tuck the end of the strip underneath the mummy to secure it.
  5. Arrange the wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.
  6. Press two olive slices gently into the exposed cheese at the top of each mummy for eyes.
  7. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each mummy with olive oil or melted butter. If using garlic powder, sprinkle it on now.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let them rest on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

Keep cheese cold for easier wrapping. Do not overwork the dough. Check at 10 minutes to avoid overbaking. Double the batch for parties. Can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Freeze baked and cooled mummies for up to 3 months.
