      Notes

      Here's what I learned from making these:
      Use non-stick spray on the molds to make sure the skulls come out perfect.
      Try different cheeses or even ground turkey if you want a lighter option.
      These skulls are great with extra hot salsa for those who like some heat!
      Double the recipe for larger parties; they disappear fast!
      Now, I’m off to enjoy these tasty, spooky treats! 🍴😄
