As Halloween approaches, it’s time to think about how to celebrate with your children or for yourself. While you may have already decorated your home and prepared your costume, have you planned your Halloween menu? If you’re hosting a spooky-themed event, consider making pumpkin-shaped pizza bombs for a fun and delicious treat.
Beatriz, a TikTok user known as @makelifesimpler_, recently shared a recipe for these pumpkin bombs that has caught the attention of many. She also showcased her Halloween-themed kitchen utensils from OTOTO, such as a vampire garlic crusher and bat wing scissors.
To make these pumpkin bombs, gather ingredients like pizza dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, ham, basil leaves, and pretzels. Additionally, prepare a marinara dip using tomato sauce, garlic, olive oil, and salt.
Start by cutting the pizza dough into squares and topping them with sauce, cheese, and ham. Fold the corners together to form a pumpkin shape, securing with butcher’s twine. Brush with egg wash before baking until golden brown. For the marinara dip, sauté garlic in olive oil, then add tomato sauce and salt.
While the cooking time was not specified, a suggested range is 8-12 minutes at 180 degrees. Serve these pumpkin bites with the warm marinara dip for a delightful treat. Consider pairing them with a bottle of wine for a cozy evening.
For a sweet twist, one commenter suggested making chocolate versions of these pizza bombs by using chocolate spread and marshmallows. Get creative with your Halloween treats and enjoy the festive spirit!
