Fresh figs are delicate and best used soon after purchase — they soften after a day or two in the fridge. If you find ripe figs in October, plan to assemble the skewers within a day for the best texture and appearance.

How to Make Mozzarella Skull Cheese Bites

These molded mozzarella skulls are simple to make and add a fun Halloween element to many appetizers. You’ll need small mozzarella balls and silicone Halloween molds. The molds work for cheese, candy, ice, and even shaped butter for seasonal gatherings.

Steps

  1. Pat mozzarella balls dry with a paper towel.
  2. Place the mozzarella into the silicone molds.
  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and blot any excess liquid with a paper towel.
  5. Press the cheese firmly into the mold using the back of a spoon.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  7. Pop them out and your skull-shaped mozzarella bites are ready.

How to Make Prosciutto Wrapped Figs with Honey and Skull Cheese Skewers

  1. Slice fresh figs into quarters.
  2. Wrap each fig quarter with a thin ribbon of prosciutto, overlapping the ends where the fig will touch the cheese. The overlap helps create a sturdier base so the skewers stand neatly on the platter.
  3. Skewer a mozzarella skull first, leaving space underneath for the wrapped fig.
  4. Add the wrapped fig to the bottom of the skewer with the cut side facing down so it sits flat and stable.
  5. Arrange the finished skewers on a platter and drizzle lightly with honey just before serving.

Make-Ahead Tip

These skewers are best assembled just before serving. Fresh figs soften quickly after slicing, so prepare the mozzarella skulls ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. For optimal flavor and presentation, wrap the figs and assemble the skewers close to serving time.
