Variations
1 The Parmesan works well with this, but is optional. If you are going to use Parmesan, don't use the kind that comes in the cardboard tube.
2 Plain Pringles look like waves when placed around the skull. They are optional. The chips are not sturdy enough to be used for the cheese but are there for decoration only.
