Substitutions
- Any kind of mozza ball will work, marinated or not. Just be sure to drain the cheese balls before using them.
- Prosciutto gives the eyes the best “creepy” look but other thinly sliced deli meat will work too.

- Serve these cheese balls with skewers or toothpicks on an appie platter or add them to spaghetti to create a delicious Halloween dinner.
