Be Careful Whom You Point This Finger At!
What a positively ghoulish Halloween recipe Elizabeth has created! These witchy fingers look perfectly scary and will add an authentic touch to your Halloween party buffet. But they really are a tasty salty-and-sweet treat that everyone will love.
Young and old Halloween partygoers, alike, will get a kick out of seeing these spookily-realistic green fingers (because we all just KNOW that witches are green, right?). You might want to arrange them in a bucket that you have decorated with fake blood, so they will look like they have been freshly severed. It all depends on the ghoul factor you want to create and the age of your youngest party guests. Keep in mind that young minds are quite impressionable.
This recipe couldn’t be any easier to make. You won’t need a candy thermometer, and the only special equipment you will need is a small food-safe paintbrush for coating the almonds to look like black nails on the ends of the fingers.
The combination of the sweet green candy coating with the salty taste of the substantial pretzel stick underneath is one of those irresistible flavor duos that is really pleasing to the taste buds. You might want to make a double batch of these, depending on the size of your party, as they are sure to disappear quickly.

Quick Tip: To execute this recipe most efficiently, set up an assembly line in your kitchen. Paint the almonds and set them near the tray where you will place the fingers after they are dipped in the candy. As soon as you dip a finger and place it on the tray, place a fingernail on it. Keep your toothpicks right by the tray, also, so that you can move quickly from dipping fingers to applying the knuckle creases, as the candy starts to set.
