Pop back into warm oven for just 1 minute until a little melty and ghost-like. 9. Add tiny bits of black olives for eyes. Breadsticks: 1. I bought frozen garlic bread sticks and laid them onto a baking sheet. 2. Slice strips of mozzarella cheese and layer over like mummy wrapping. 3. Add little olive bits for eyes. 4.
