Once the dough is made, it is formed into “fingers” and a bright red fingernail added – made from red bell pepper! These spooky snacks are actually pretty quick to prepare! Check out all my low carb Halloween recipes!
Here's my video showing how to make the basic dough – but keep reading to see how to use it for this recipe!
How to Make Witch Fingers
Make the fathead dough as normal, but when you add the almond flour and cream cheese, add some garlic paste and Italian seasoning. Knead to ensure the dough is fully combined.
Divide the dough into 16 sections, roll each one into a finger-sized log, and place them on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. They really don't have to be uniform or perfect – they are witch's fingers after all!
Halve a red bell pepper and remove the seeds from one side (keep the other side for another recipe). Cut it into 16 small triangles and push each one onto the end of the dough logs.
They look pretty good even when raw!
Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown at the edges. Serve warm with low carb salsa or marinara.
I love the Green Mountain Gringo salsa – available from Netrition in mild, medium, or hot – and only 2g net carbs per serving of two tablespoons!
Your guests will love these fun bread sticks – kids as well as adults!
If you have any leftovers, just warm them up in the microwave. It doesn't take long!
