Brush black food coloring over the triangles and grin.
Whisk together the egg and water to create egg wash.

Bake for 12-16 minutes until the stem is golden brown.
Cut block of cheese into 15 pieces.
Cut 3 rectangles from the remaining dough and unroll the other tube of dough and cut it into 12 rectangles.
Brush egg wash over the pieces of pizza dough. Set one piece of the cheese in the center of each dough rectangle.
Attach opposing corners of the dough, then pinch around the edges to seal the dough.
Pinch and roll into a ball.
Set balls of dough around the edge of the buttered skillet, creating one row of 15.
Mix together the cream cheese, buffalo chicken sauce, ranch dip, sour cream, ⅔ cup cheddar cheese, Monterrey Jack cheese, and shredded chicken.
