How to Make Irresistible Cheesy Halloween Breadstick Bones

Ingredients:

1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese
Optional: Marinara or ranch for dipping

Directions:

Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Slice it lengthwise into 8 equal strips.
On each strip, cut a 1-inch slit at both ends. Roll both end tabs inward in opposite directions to create rounded “bone” ends.
Transfer the shaped breadsticks to the baking sheet. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Bake in the oven for 12–15 minutes, until they are puffed and lightly golden.
Remove them from the oven briefly, sprinkle each breadstick with cheese, and return to the oven for 2–3 more minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
Enjoy these warm with marinara, ranch, or your favorite spooky dip.

How to Serve Irresistible Cheesy Halloween Breadstick Bones

Serve the breadstick bones warm on a fun Halloween-themed platter. Add a bowl of marinara or ranch dressing in the center for dipping. You can also sprinkle some extra cheese on top for fun. These would be great alongside other Halloween snacks like pumpkin-shaped cookies or spooky cupcakes.

How to Store Irresistible Cheesy Halloween Breadstick Bones

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, just place them in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C) until they are warm again. This way, you can enjoy your spooky snacks more than once!
