My inner 6-year-old has had a lot of Halloween fun lately. . .
I was spellbound when I saw these witchy fingers from Woman’s Day~
An easy & fun trick~ conjuring 48 fingers out of one tube of Pillsbury refrigerated breadstick dough.
Conjuring Ingredients & Steps:
1 tube (11 oz) refrigerated breadstick dough
-
1⁄2 stick (1⁄4 cup) butter, melted
-
2 Tbsp cinnamon-sugar
-
1 large egg, slightly beaten
-
48 sliced natural (with skin) almonds
-
Heat oven to 375°F.
-
Crumple 4 large pieces of foil; shape each into a 15 x 2-in. log. Place on a baking sheet. (flatten your foil on the bottom so it doesn’t roll off the sheet!)
-
Unroll dough. Cut each of the rectangles crosswise in half, then lengthwise into 2 strips. Cut 1 end of each into a fingertip.
-
Roll strips in butter and drape over foil logs; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Brush fingertips with beaten egg; press an almond slice “nail” on each. (use a liberal amount of “egg glue” for each nail)
-
Bake 8 minutes until golden.
An unexpected surprise in candy treat bags~
Or reaching out of a treat bowl. . .
Or clutching a cocktail :)

Thanks so much for putting these Fingers up! A few years ago I made them for my grandarlin’s party and now at 13 they remembered them and want to do them themselves now but I couldn’t find the instructions , even here on line when VOILA, after an all day search I remembered breadstix and now I found this! Thanks so much!! This is the exact recipe I’d found………..Ronda
Really creepy idea, and you did a great job in the recreating and displays.
They look fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
