    Witch Finger Breadsticks (Halloween Breadsticks)

    Sep 20, 2021 · 5 Comments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Spooky witch finger breadsticks with very realistic fingernails make for the perfect halloween appetizer. You can eat them plain or eat them dipped in olive oil with Italian seasoning. These are the same as normal cheese breadsticks, they just have an indentions for a knuckle joint, and an artichoke leaf for the finger.

    What witch finger breadsticks go good with:

    Any type of halloween food would look festive with these halloween breadsticks. Mummy pizza would be easy to make along with ghost hot chocolate.

    Varitations of witch finger breadsticks

    • halloween breadstick snakes-make into a snake shape, add an olive on top for the eye. Make texture in the back of the snake using a diamon pattern utensil or use a knife.
    • halloween breadstick bones-make the same way except form into whatever shape of bone you want. The easiest option would be to make a rib cage.
    • double up the artichoke-to make the nail part extra thick, place 2 pieces of artichoke on top instead of one. This would add more definition to the artichoke.
    • use olive oil-instead of egg wash, olive oil is also an option. You can also omit the eggwash part completely and not brush anything on top of it. It is just to provide a golden brown color.
    • unhalloween it-you can also bake these as normal breadsticks without the knuckle join and articoke if you want to eat it when it is not halloween.

    How to store witch finger breadsticks:

    • fridge-store this halloween breadstick recipe in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
    • freezer-I have not tried freezing this halloween breadstick recipe. If you would like to try it, go for it! Let me know how it goes.
