OUR HALLOWEEN TWIST!Take your Cabobs to a scary level by using Halloween Food Molds for the fresh mozzarella and drizzle the cabobs with fresh “balsamic vinegar blood” using our Aceto Balsamic di Modena, Riserva. Deadly delicious!

Preparing the Mozzarella Skulls or Food Mold of Choice:

  1. Add your fresh mozzarella cheese to Halloween Silicone Food Molds (Shop Halloween Silicone Molds – ensure they are bakeable).
  2. Press the appropriate size chunk of mozzarella into the mold. Add the filled mold to a baking dish and bake on 350 F for 5-8 minutes (vary time by size of the mold) or until they are melted just enough to form into the mold.
  3. Once the mozzarella is properly melted, let the mold cool for 5 minutes and then refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Continue the assembly and follow the recipe instructions as directed in our Riserva Caprese Cabobs Recipe including drizzling the cabobs with our Aceto Balsamic di Modena Riserva!
