These breadstick snakes are made from refrigerated pizza dough shaped into coiled ropes, with olive eyes and a sesame seed coating. Baked until golden, they make a spooky yet delicious appetizer for Halloween parties.

Ingredients

1 8-ounce can refrigerated thin pizza dough

1 pitted black olive, cut into small triangles

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

1 tablespoon white sesame seeds

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F with a rack in the center, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Unroll the refrigerated thin pizza dough and use a pizza wheel or sharp knife to cut it lengthwise into eight equal strips. Fold each strip in half lengthwise and pinch the seam to form a rope.

Coil each rope around a skewer, unpainted wooden chopstick, or metal straw, then place on the baking sheet. Press one end flat to shape the head and roll the other end into a point for the tail.

Press two small olive triangles into each snake head to create eyes.

Brush the snakes with olive oil and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds.

Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, until golden brown.

Let cool slightly, then remove the skewers and serve.
