Instructions

Witchy Fingers (Brie, Jam and Onion)

  • Add apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes to a small bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Cut a large slice off of red onion. Remove a ring of red onion and cut into points to make fingernails. Add them to the bowl and allow the onion to pickle while preparing the sandwiches.
    Use a rolling pin to flatten 5 slices of bread. Cut off crusts. Spread a thin layer of room temperature Brie and roll up. Pinch and press down on one end of the roll to create a well for the fingernail and squeeze to shape the knuckles. Use a knife to make wrinkles on the two finger joints. Use a small amount of Brie to glue a pickled red onion nail in place. Dip finger into your favorite jam.

Franken Fingers (Cucumber and Cream Cheese)

  • Cut off 1 inch of each end of a small Persian cucumber and place them cut sides down on a cutting board. Using a paring knife, cut small strips of cucumber to make the fingernails. Set aside. Grate the middle section of the cucumber with a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated cucumber and add it to a small bowl. Add cream cheese, dill, and garlic powder and mix until combined.
