Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered milk, and honey. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms. This is the 'flesh' of your spooky fingers. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Take a portion of the dough and mold it around each pretzel rod, ensuring the entire rod is covered. The pretzel will act as the 'bone' within the finger. Shape and taper the dough to resemble a finger. (20 minutes)

03

Step

Using the tip of a teaspoon or a small knife, gently create indentations in the 'flesh' to mimic knuckles. This adds a realistic touch to your bloody fingers. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Press a sliced almond onto one end of each 'finger' to create the fingernail. Ensure it is firmly attached. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Place the plum jam in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave until it softens slightly. This should only take 20-30 seconds. Be careful not to overheat it. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Dip the end of the 'finger' opposite the almond fingernail into the warmed plum jam to create the 'blood'. Let the excess drip off for a truly gruesome effect. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Arrange your Bloody Fingers on a platter and let the jam set slightly before serving. Prepare to be spooked...with deliciousness! (5 minutes)

For a nut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more powdered milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
Experiment with different jams for varied 'blood' effects. Raspberry or cherry jam also work well.
Store the Bloody Fingers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
