MONSTER TOES (FOR HALLOWEEN)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut a wedge into the end of each cocktail wiener to make a flat toenail.
• Cut the tortillas into strips about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Discard the ends.
• Soften the strips in the microwave between damp paper towels for 10 to 30 seconds.
• Roll each wiener in a tortilla strip around one end and secure with a toothpick.
• Place on a cookie sheet.
• Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove them from the oven, then fill the toenail with ketchup or mustard. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

MONSTER TOES (BREAKFAST/BRUNCH VERSION)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare the sausage according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, cut each flour tortilla into 10 thin strips.
• Halve the sausage links when they are done cooking.
• Leaving the rounded edge of the sausage link visible, begin wrapping about 1/3 of the way down from this edge with a tortilla strip. Wrap "messily," not all on top of itself, so that it looks like a mummy bandage.
• Pin the tortilla strip in place using a toothpick through the tortilla and sausage.
• Bake about 5 minutes.
• Remove "toes" from oven and immediately stick an almond into the top of the rounded edge of the sausage link, as though it was a creepy, broken toenail.
• Enjoy! They are good plain or with some maple syrup for dipping!

FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER'S TOES

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, melted butter, egg, almond extract and green food color until soft dough forms. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place almonds and red food color in resealable food-storage plastic bag; shake bag until almonds are evenly coated with food color. Place on paper plate or waxed paper to dry. Set aside.

• Press almond, colored side up, into one end of each "toe" to look like toenail. About 1 inch from each end of each "toe," squeeze dough slightly; with knife, gently make lines in dough to look like knuckles.
• Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until set. (Cookies should not brown along edges.) Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
