Freaky Fingers and Monster Mouths

I found some really cute Halloween treats on the Family Fun website. They were called Cheese Finger Food and Apple Bites, but I think Freaky Fingers and Monster Mouths sound much more appetizing for Halloween!

Freaky Fingers

Mozzarella string cheese

Green bell pepper

Cream cheese

Cut each cheese stick in half (makes two fingers). Carve a shallow area for a fingernail just below the rounded end of each half. Carve out tiny horizontal wedges for joint (below the nail) and the knuckle joint. Slice green bell pepper into nail shapes and stick them in place at the ends of the fingers with dabs of cream cheese.

Monster Mouths

Apples

Slivered almonds

Quarter and core an apple. Cut a wedge from the skin side of each quarter. Then press slivered almonds in place for teeth.

Tip: If you're not going to serve these right away, bast the apples with orange juice to keep them from browning.
