Ingredients for Velveeta Bat Pizzas

To make these spooky pizzas, you’ll need:

  • 1 lb Velveeta, cubed
  • Black, yellow, and red liquid food coloring
  • 1 (9-ounce) package naan bread (2 pieces)
  • 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 1 (12-ounce) package refrigerated macaroni and cheese or 2 cups homemade
  • 6 slices (¼ pound) deli-sliced mozzarella cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Make Velveeta Bat Pizzas

Make the Velveeta Bat Decorations

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Divide Velveeta into two microwave-safe bowls.
  3. Melt one bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Tint with black food coloring and spread to ¼-inch thickness on one sheet.
  4. Melt the second bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons in a sandwich bag. Tint the rest with yellow and red food coloring and spread on the second sheet.
  5. Refrigerate both sheets until firm (about 30 minutes).
  6. Use a 2¼-inch bat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out 8 bats from each color. Place on wax paper-lined sheet and freeze.

Assemble and Bake the Pizzas

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Place naan on a baking sheet and spread each with 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce.
  3. Top with 1 cup mac and cheese and 3 slices of mozzarella.
  4. Bake for 12–14 minutes until hot and lightly browned.
  5. Microwave reserved Velveeta in the bag until soft. Snip a corner and pipe eyes onto frozen bats.
  6. Arrange bats on baked pizzas as desired.

Expert Tips for Perfect Halloween Pizzas

  • Flavor Boost: Mix in sharp cheddar or gouda for a more complex mac layer.
  • Clean Bat Shapes: Chill Velveeta thoroughly before cutting.
  • Keep It Cool: If bats soften too quickly, refrigerate pizzas briefly before serving.
  • Party Portions: Use mini naan or pita rounds for bite-sized versions.

Creative Variations to Try

  • Sauce Swap: Use buffalo, ranch, or marinara for a flavor twist.
  • Color Play: Customize bat colors for team spirit or holiday themes.
  • Spicy Kick: Stir jalapeños or hot sauce into the mac.
  • Veggie Boost: Add sautéed spinach or peppers for balance.

Serving Suggestions for Maximum Impact

  • Present on a black slate or wooden board to highlight the bats.
  • Pair with sparkling cider, blood-red punch, or themed mocktails.
  • Add fresh fruit or a green salad for contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions
