- Add olive eyes by placing a small piece of black olive on each molded skull where the eyes should go.
- Chill to set by refrigerating the molds for about 30 minutes or until the mozzarella is firm to the touch.
- Unmold the skulls carefully from the molds.
- Serve & enjoy by arranging your mozzarella skulls on a charcuterie board or using them as toppings for salads.
