The Story & Intro
Hi! I’m Marilyn a home cook from the island of Crete, where food is more than just a meal it’s how we tell stories, especially during holidays. Now, Halloween might not be a Greek tradition, but ever since I started cooking for friends in the U.S., I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the creativity it brings to the kitchen.
A few years ago, I wanted to make something fun but simple for a Halloween dinner party. I had leftover pizza dough, a jar of marinara, and a lot of imagination. That’s how these Halloween Breadstick Bones with marinara “blood” dip were born!
They’re soft, warm, a little creepy-looking, and absolutely delicious. Kids giggle, adults dip them like vampires, and the whole tray disappears faster than you can say “boo!” This Halloween breadstick bones recipe is now a tradition and I’m thrilled to share it with you.
Whether you’re planning a Halloween party, spooky movie night, or a fun themed dinner, these breadstick bones are sure to bring the treat without the trick.
