Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

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.
Mold enough dough around each pretzel rod, making sure to cover the ends. The pretzels will be the 'bones' of the fingers.
Use the tip of a teaspoon the make marks on the 'flesh' similar to knuckles.
Push 1 sliced almond onto 1 end of each 'finger' to resemble a finger nail.
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'.

Categories main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 12 to 14 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pound 80/20-blend ground beef
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
14 small cloves garlic or 7 large cloves garlic sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon spicy honey, warmed so it blends (if you can't find it, just add a shake of hot sauce to regular honey)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

For the fingers: Break up the beef with your fingers in a large bowl, then scatter the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and a few grinds of pepper over the top. Gently mix with your hands and divide in half. Make 6 to 7 fingers from each half. Mold a finger of beef on a skewer, making sure to mold it right over the skewer tip. Repeat with the remaining fingers. Push a slice of garlic into the tip of each finger for a fingernail.
Grill and dip. Heat a griddle on the grill or stovetop to 375 degrees F.
Cook the skewers over direct heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
For the blood sauce: Stir together the ketchup, honey and vinegar in a bowl. Serve with the fingers as a bloody dip.
