“Once your snake is filled, rolled and shaped, let the kids paint it. The bread will bake up colorful, yummy and just creepy enough to satisfy the boys and ghouls.” -Jen Spaeth, Ozark, Missouri

It looked a little weird, the kids LOVED it! They asked for it again even before they had finished their plates! It was really fun and had them convinced that it really was snake pizza till they took a bite!

Ok, granted I'm not the world's best cook, but I have tried making this twice and both times it looked NOTHING like a snake. It just kind of oozed into roadkill. Still tasted good, though.

The kids absolutely loved making this! We make homemade pizza rolls, so the kids were already familiar with the process of putting pepperoni, cheese inside of bread. But they loved painting it. We added garlic salt and grated parmesan. Yummy!
