Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the fresh mozzarella balls by inspecting them and making shallow indentations on one side to create eye sockets.
  2. Finely chop the kalamata olives and press the pieces into the mozzarella indentations to form the pupils.
  3. Slice the pepperoni stick into a mix of sizes, aiming for ¾ inch chunks and thin slices.
  4. Cut the red bell pepper into wedge-shaped pieces for 'blood' accents.
  5. Assemble skewers by layering a red pepper wedge, a chunk of pepperoni, and a mozzarella ball with the pupil facing outward.
  6. Chill the assembled skewers in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours before serving.
