I wish I had this Mummy Calzones recipe back when we were raising our family. We always wanted our three children to eat something good for dinner before they went out to trick or treat. It was a challenge indeed because all our kids wanted to do was just get their costumes on and head on out.
These Mummy Calzones would have captured their attention and got them to eat before the sugar rush came!
Although this looks fancy, it is easier to make than you think. I encourage you to try it as I know your kids will gobble it up and it will get some good food in their tummies before Halloween. Just look. It only takes about 15 minutes to prepare!
