Halloween Pancakes: Easy Skull and Crossbones Pancakes

Directions

1. Mix the pancake mix, water, and cinnamon in a large liquid measuring cup.
2. Heat your skillet or griddle and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Pour a larger rounded pancake circle (for the top part of the skull pancakes), then on the bottom end, add a small rectangle of batter (for the jaw part of the skull).
4. Prepare as usual for pancakes, flipping when ready and cooking until done.
5. Pour two longer lines of batter for the crossbones. Add two small circles on each end of each line.
6. Cook just like you would cook pancakes, carefully flipping them to brown on both sides using a long spatula, or two spatulas if needed to flip them carefully.
7. Arrange the skull and bones on your serving plates so that the bones cross over each other sitting below the skull pancakes.
8. Allow the Halloween pancakes to cool a little before decorating them, or the toppings can melt.
9. When cooled enough for the chocolate not to melt, arrange chocolate chips on top of the skull pancakes to create eyes (4 chocolate chips in a diamond shape for each eye) and a nose (3 chocolate chips in a triangle shape).
10. Add 3 mini marshmallow pieces on top of the jaw for teeth.
11. Serve your Halloween pancake recipe with butter, syrup, or your favorite pancake toppings.
