Every year I try to come up with some kind of spooky Halloween food to scare my kids, but that’s still good enough for them to eat.

A couple of years ago I created these witches fingers and they were a HIT!

Pair with our fun Halloween spaghetti with eyeballs, Oogie Boogie bug platter, or Halloween dirt cups for extra creep factor!

I used frozen mozzarella sticks and pumpkin seeds to create these tasty witch fingers.

I even made a simple sauce to dip the witch fingers into that tasted amazing.

Witches Fingers Recipe

Ingredients

Frozen mozzarella sticks
Roasted pumpkin seeds

Preheat the oven to whatever temperature is required for the brand of mozzarella sticks you use.

Add the Witch Fingernails

Use a small knife to cut a fingernail shape out of the top of a mozzarella stick.

Press the pumpkin seed down into the cheese so that it stays in place for cooking.

Place the witch fingers on a baking sheet in a single layer, then cook the witch finger cheese sticks in the oven as directed on the back of the package.

Cook the Witch Fingers

The cook time will depend on how many sticks you cook at once.

Remove from the oven once done cooking.

I am still so amazed at how well these Halloween witch fingers turned out.

They looked great, and the pumpkin seed fingernails were the perfect spooky touch!

Now it’s time to make a sauce to go with these fingers.

What better sauce than a homemade marinara dipping sauce that looks like blood?!

It IS Halloween, after all.

Easy Marinara “Blood” Dipping Sauce

28 oz. can crushed or pureed tomatoes
1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil

Combine all the ingredients (except the fresh basil) in a medium pot.

Simmer on medium-low for 10-15 minutes.

Remove from heat and add the chopped fresh basil, then stir to combine.

Wait until the marinara dipping sauce has cooked a bit to serve.

Now dunk a witches finger into the blood sauce and you’ve got the perfect Halloween appetizer!

You could even serve the sauce in a small witch cauldron that you’ve made more realistic (see our realistic witch cauldron tutorial) and smaller version of our fake fire for even more fun.

Whip up our easy glow in the dark punch or Harry Potter pumpkin juice and now you’ve got an amazing Halloween dinner to gobble down before trick or treating.

I love this spooky witch finger snack, especially since you can make it in about 20 minutes.
