HALLOWEEN: Witch Fingers (Recipe)

Disgustingly awesome.  But recipe is play it by ear.
Ingredients
1 jar creamy peanut butter (I use Skippy Honey Nut)
Powdered Sugar (start with 1 cup and add more)
Slivered Almonds
Pretzel Sticks
Red Decorating Gel (or add red food coloring to approx 1 cup powdered sugar+1 TB cream to drizzle as "blood".  Should be thick enough to pour. (Instructions after the jump)


In a bowl, mix 3/4 jar of peanut butter and powdered sugar.  Keep adding powdered sugar until the dough is moldable (like Play-Do) but not dry and sandy.  If it becomes grainy, add more PB.  If its too "wet" add more powdered sugar.
When ready, take out a pretzel stick.  Pull off some dough and wrap around the stick.  (I break off some of the stick to make it more finger sized.)  Roll until it looks like a finger.  (Tap some powdered sugar in your hands while rolling if it isnt stiff enough).  Lay the finger down and add a slivered almond as a "nail".  Use a dull knife to cut in the finger wrinkles.  When your plate is full, either paint the ends with the red decorating gel or drizzle on the red powdered sugar+cream for blood effect.)
If you wonder what is the point of the pretzel, just bit a finger.  You will feel the soft "flesh" of the peanut butter dough and the lovely crunch of the pretzel "bone".  ((shudder!))
These taste like the inside of a peanut butter cup or a little like Ben & Jerry's "Chubby Hubby" ice cream.  But most people love to look but are too afraid to eat!
