My kids always get a kick out of making these mini pizzas with me for Halloween. Plus they're great to prep ahead of time and pop in the oven before trick or treating!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉.
Place the English muffin halves on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.
Remove muffins from oven and spread 1 tablespoon of the pizza sauce onto each English muffin half.
Peel the mozzarella sticks into strings and decoratively arrange them on top of each English muffin. Slice the green olives into 1/4 inch thick rings and place them on top of the cheese to create eyes.
Bake mummies for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Notes

Prep Ahead: If making mummies in the morning to eat later in the day, after step 4, place muffins on a plate, cover loosely with foil and refrigerate. When ready to eat, continue with step 5.

Get creative with toppings: While mozzarella and olives are classic, feel free to add your own twist! Pepperoni eyes, bell pepper mouths, or even a sprinkle of parmesan for extra mummy "dust" can be fun alternatives.
Cheese variety: If your little ones aren’t fans of mozzarella sticks, you can use shredded mozzarella or any other mild cheese that melts well. Also, note that cheeses that are lower fat or fat free don't melt as well as full fat options.
