  2. Cut the Pepperoni: Slice the pepperoni into ¾-inch cubes and rounds for easy assembly.
  3. Slice the Red Bell Pepper: Cut the pepper into small wedges, about 1-inch long.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: On a wooden skewer, thread a red pepper wedge, followed by a chunk of pepperoni, a mozzarella eyeball, a slice of pepperoni, and another mozzarella ball.
  5. Chill to Enhance Flavor: Refrigerate the assembled skewers for at least 30 minutes before serving.
