Ingredients
  

For the Appetizer
  • 12 balls Mozzarella Balls Can substitute with bocconcini for a larger size
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Can swap with fresh chili for additional heat
  • 12 pieces Kalamata Olives Add as 'eyes' for the eyeballs; green olives or sliced jalapeños can be used as substitutes
  • 6 ounces Pepperoni Stick Thin-sliced deli pepperoni can be used for convenience
For Assembly
  • 12 pieces Skewers Long bamboo skewers work best for stability

Equipment

  • Bamboo skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Mozzarella: Cut small indents into the mozzarella balls to create pockets for the kalamata olive 'eyes.' Set aside.
  2. Fill with Olives: Fill each indent with chopped kalamata olives, allowing them to stick out slightly.
  3. Slice the Pepperoni: Slice the pepperoni stick into small round pieces about 3/4 inch thick and additional thin strips.
  4. Cut the Red Bell Pepper: Cut into wedge-shaped pieces around an inch long for visual appeal.
  5. Assemble the Skewers: Thread a piece of red pepper, a chunk of pepperoni, a mozzarella ball filled with olive, and finish with a thicker slice of pepperoni.
  6. Stabilize the Skewer: Finish with thin slices of pepperoni and another mozzarella ball at the base for stability.
  7. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate assembled skewers for at least 30 minutes before serving.
