Ingredients

To conjure up these spooky delights, you’ll need the following ingredients:

1 can of refrigerated breadstick dough
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (if you’re feeling a bit fancy!)
1 egg (for that shiny finish)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
A sprinkle of salt and pepper
Optional: Marinara sauce for dipping (because what’s Halloween without a little sauce for blood? Just kidding!)

Steps to Create Your Cheesy Halloween Breadstick Bones

Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
Roll Out the Dough: Open the can of breadstick dough and unroll it. Next, separate the dough into individual breadsticks.

Get Cheesy: Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over each breadstick. Don’t be shy—cheese is the star of this spooky show!
Shape the Bones: Twist each breadstick to give it a bone-like appearance. It doesn’t have to be perfect; we’re going for that baked-with-love look here, not a Michelin star!
Egg Wash Time: In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the twisted breadsticks. This will give them that beautiful golden color. It’s like giving each piece a little Halloween costume!

Add Seasoning: Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on top of your breadsticks for an extra kick of flavor.
Bake Away: Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they’ll be golden brown and oh-so-appetizing.
Serve and Devour: Once they come out of the oven, let them cool slightly, then serve them with warm marinara sauce for dipping. Delicious!

A Little Bone Humor: If your breadsticks look more like twisted pretzels than bones, don’t worry! They’re still going to taste fantastic, and your guests will find them adorable either way.
Leftover Magic: If you happen to have some leftovers (which is unlikely, but hey, miracles happen!), simply store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Just reheat them in the oven to regain that crispy goodness.
