They come together quickly with just a few ingredients and minimal prep. After about 20 minutes of assembly and a brief chill time, you’ll have a spooky, party-ready appetizer. Using Halloween molds adds a fun and festive touch with very little extra effort.

Step one: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Add two mozzarella pearls into each witch hat mold and three into each cauldron mold. Place the silicone mold on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.
Step two: Remove from the oven and gently press down on the melted cheese with the back of a spoon. Drain any excess liquid, then chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Step three: While the cheese cools, thread tomatoes, olives, and salami onto bamboo skewers and place them in the serving cups.
Step four: Add the molded cheese pieces to skewers and arrange them in the cups. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
