Make Monster Toes For Halloween

Surprise your friends and family with some shockingly scary monster toes this Halloween. The funny little toes are actually green biscuit dough wrapped around a cocktail weenie, with a bit of comical ketchup "blood." Monster toes are easy, and will make a terrific appetizer at your next Halloween get together.


Instructions


1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.


2. Mix up a batch of biscuit dough, and add a few drops of green food coloring as you're mixing it. Canned biscuits can be brushed with coloring later.


3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and spread a generous layer of ketchup over it. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough about 3 to 4 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.


4. Wrap each piece of dough around a cocktail weenie and press the edges to seal, and put a toothpick in each one to hold the dough in place while they cook.








5. Press an olive half "toenail" into one end of each monster toe.


6. Place the monster toes on an ungreased baking sheet and bake them until for about 15 to 20 minutes.








7. Remove the toothpicks from the monster toes. Brush them lightly with green food coloring mixed with melted butter, and serve them hot.
