Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Halloween Caprese Salad Skewers

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and drain the mozzarella ciliegine from any liquid.
Lightly oil the silicone skull molds with cooking oil.
Place one mozzarella ball into each skull mold and bake for about 6-8 minutes until softened.
Press gently on the cheese with a paper towel to absorb excess liquid and shape it into skulls.
Chill the molded mozzarella in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
Assemble skewers by threading mozzarella skulls, basil leaves, and cherry tomatoes onto bamboo picks.
Whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar, drizzle over the skewers, or serve on the side.
