Cheese-Finger Food
- What you'll need
- Mozzarella string cheese
- Green bell pepper
- Cream cheese
- Instructions
- Wearing plastic gloves or sandwich bags over your hands to keep the cheese as smudge-free as possible, use a paring knife (parents only) to cut each string in half and then carve a shallow area for a fingernail just below the rounded end of each half.
- Mark the joint right below the nail as well as the knuckle joint by carving out tiny horizontal wedges of cheese, as pictured.
- For the fingernails, slice a green bell pepper into 3/8-inch-wide strips. Set the strips skin side down on your work surface and trim the pulp so that it's about half as thick. Then cut the strips into ragged-topped nail shapes and stick them in place at the ends of the fingers with dabs of cream cheese.
Forked Eyeballs
- What you'll need
- 2 (11-ounce) bags white chocolate chips
- 12 doughnut holes
- Semisweet chocolate chips
- Tube of red decorator frosting
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Instructions
- To coat a dozen doughnut holes, melt the white chocolate chips with the oil over low heat (and keep the chocolate warm while you work). With a fork, spear each doughnut hole and submerge it in the melted chocolate to coat it, then gently tap off any excess.
- Stick a semisweet chocolate chip with its point cut off onto each doughnut hole, cut end first. Place the forks (handle side down) in a mug and allow the chocolate coating to harden.
- Use a tube of red decorator frosting to add squiggly veins radiating out from the pupils.

Oh my goodness! Those are so cute! My kids would freak out if I made these. Especially the fingers. I think I'll do it this weekend, only using a red pepper. How fun!
