Cheeseburger Skulls – Spooky Halloween Dinner Idea

These Cheeseburger Skulls are a spooky, savory twist on classic burgers—perfect for Halloween dinner! Made with biscuit dough, seasoned beef, melted cheese, and baked in a skull-shaped mold, they’re crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Each bite is full of fun, making them a guaranteed hit with kids and adults alike.

I made these last Halloween and let me tell you—they vanished like ghosts. The golden biscuit shell gives a satisfying crunch while the cheesy beef filling oozes out like something straight from a haunted kitchen. They’re easy to prep, bake in under 30 minutes, and totally customizable.

You can use homemade dough or pre-made crescent or biscuit dough to save time. For fillings, go with classic cheeseburger flavors—ground beef, cheddar, onions—or get creative with bacon, pickles, or jalapeños.

Serve them with ketchup “blood” or mustard “slime” for extra ghoulish fun. Whether you’re planning a Halloween family dinner, spooky movie night, or themed party, these cheeseburger skulls are scary good—and frighteningly easy to make.
