All month long we've been sharing ideas on how you can celebrate Halloween this year, including the creative recipe lists compiled by our Managing Editor, Heather Wixson. One of those lists included a pizza skulls recipe, and a new video shows how to make the edible, eerie, and altogether cheesy treats.
The culinary gurus over at Genius Kitchen have released a video showing how to make their tasty take on the pizza skulls, and we've also included their recipe below.

From Genius Kitchen: "Ingredients:
- nonstick cooking spray, for pan
- pizza dough
- 1 1⁄2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 3⁄4 cup pizza sauce, plus more warmed for dipping
- 1⁄2 lb Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 18 slices pepperoni
- 2 teaspoons italian seasoning
- italian parsley sprig (to garnish)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray skull mold with nonstick spray; set aside.
Unroll pizza dough and stretch or roll into a 21x 8-inch rectangle with the long edge closest to you. Cut into six 3 1/2-inch wide strips.
Working one at a time if necessary, lay dough into skull cavities. Add to the center a tablespoon shredded mozzarella, a tablespoon of grated parmesan, 1 tablespoon marinara sauce, a spoonful sausage, 3 pepperoni, another tablespoon sauce, one more tablespoon mozzarella and a sprinkle Italian seasoning. Fold dough over fillings and pinch dough together to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake for 20 minutes, remove from molds, place on a platter and garnish with parsley sprigs. Serve with extra warm pizza sauce for dipping."
