These Halloween treats are scary enough and tasty enough for kids to love. They are also fairly healthy and the kids may want to get involved in the preparations.
Ingredients
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered milk
- 2 cups honey
- 1 (15 ounce) package pretzel rods
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, or as needed
- ¼ cup plum jam, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Mix peanut butter, powdered milk, and honey together in a bowl until mixture resembles a soft dough. This will be the 'flesh' of the fingers.
Step 2
Mold enough dough around each pretzel rod, making sure to cover the ends. The pretzels will be the 'bones' of the fingers.
Step 3
Use the tip of a teaspoon the make marks on the 'flesh' similar to knuckles.
Step 4
Push 1 sliced almond onto 1 end of each 'finger' to resemble a finger nail.
Step 5
Place jam in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until softened, 20 to 30 seconds. Dip the end opposite the 'finger nail' into the jam for the 'blood'.
Cook’s Note:
I have always used homemade plum jam for the blood. It has just the right color and has tiny bits in it that really look good.
