Spooky snacks for halloween

Dead man's fingers
These ghoulish sandwiches look terrific!

WARNING: This recipe contains nuts
Suitable from 2 years

Thin sliced white bread, crusts removed
Soft margarine
Cream cheese
Almonds
Tomato ketchup

Gently flatten the slices of bread with a rolling pin to make them more pliable. Spread with a little margarine and some cream cheese.

Roll up the sandwiches and make three indentations with a blunt knife to form the finger joints.

Trim the ends of the fingers into a 'V' shape and stick an almond on to each tip with a little cream cheese to form the nails.

Now for the gruesome bit - squirt some tomato ketchup over the end of the fingers for the blood!

Gruesome sausages
A fun way to present sausages for Halloween

6 sausages
a little mild mustard
1 red pepper, cut into fingernail size pieces
1 squash
cocktail sticks

Cook the sausages and cut them in half lengthways. With a knife cut three slits to mirror the knuckles on your fingers.

To make the fingernails, cut a small sliver off the top of each sausage, near the first knuckle joint. Spread with a little mild mustard and attach a piece of red pepper.

Decorate the squash by drawing a face using a black marker pen. Spear the sausages with cocktail sticks and stick them into the squash.
