Gruesome Buffet

[Nancj]

here are a few pics of the dinner that I prepared for my Daughters 18th bday. I served-
Human carcass
Witches Fingers
Pumpkin puke
Fried Vertebrae discs w/coagulated blood
Puss Puffs
Pulsating Heart
Compost
and Delectable Brain
I ran out of time and didn't get a chance to make the bleeding Eyeballs
I just hope her friends didn't think it was too corny, I burned eight of my fingers grabbing a hot pan out of the oven. In the frenzy of it all I forgot to grab the oven mitts. Ahhh.... teenagers are so hard to please.
what do you guys think? cool or corny.

Is there a secret to witch fingers? We are using the pillsbury bread stick dough - and they keep coming out looking like - well bread sticks...

Is it the recipe that is important? Would the pretzel dough recipe be better?

[Nancj]

what I did was used the pillsbury bread sticks cut them in half so instead of 10 there are now 20 then I rolled them to make them longer and more round. then pinch them to make the knuckles, added blanched almonds dyed in red food color for the nails, and for some more added effect brushed them with butter with a little bit of green food color to make them creepy. i'm sure pretzel dough would also work just make sur to roll out the dough thin since they will bake to twice its size before baking. hope this helps.

The boys totally liked it, the girls on the other hand were a little too girly and were grossed out by it. :sick:
