With all the craziness and excitement of Halloween, how do we get everything done and feed the kids too? Just make a big batch of these Pizza Mummies in the morning and all you have to do before everyone shows up for the big night is toss them in the oven for a few minutes.
Every year we go to my dear friend Keri’s house for her famous Halloween party. If kids and parents alike could design their dream Halloween party, they would both come up with this one. We’re talking games, arts and crafts, a dead end street with house after house decorated to the nines, kids and adults decked out in their spooky best, a relaxed vibe, and tons and tons of homemade food. If Keri ever stops hosting this shindig I don’t know what I’ll do, because my kids only association with Halloween is this party and I can’t bear the thought of telling them that as fun as Halloween is, it could never be as awesome as Keri makes it.
The party is always a potluck and for the past two years I’ve brought my Mummy Dogs to add to the spread. This year both of my kids have requested I make Pizza Mummies. They’re so darned cute and I like that my kids’ bellies get filled up with something other than the pounds of sugar awaiting them on their trick or treat extravaganza.

Chances are your kids may be even more amused by your Pizza Mummies than they are about everyone’s costumes!

Made these with the mummy dogs and they were a tasty hit. I used long shredded mozz which worked fine. Easy and festive – thanks Catherine!
Glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
