Bloody Finger Cheese Sticks
Looking for a terrifying food idea for Halloween? Then you need to make these bloody finger cheese sticks! My kids absolutely loved them, with my little one yelling “more fingers!!”. 😂
You can throw these together in just minutes with minimum ingredients. They make such a fun snack or a great appetizer plate to add to the Halloween party table!
How many should you make? Each cheese stick makes 2 bloody fingers, so 6 cheese sticks would make 12 fingers! I say 2-3 fingers is good per person!

How to Make Halloween Cheese Fingers!
Remove the cheese sticks from the wrapper and round off the edges so they resemble more of a finger shape. They don’t have to be perfect!
Roughly tear each cheese stick in half. Try to tear them as irregular as possible, as the tearing cheese will look like tendons!
Using a small knife, (carefully) cut a fingernail bed on each cheese stick.
Now, cut up 2-3 little wrinkles for the knuckles on each finger.
Add sauce on a plate, to resemble small pools of blood.
Dip each cheese finger bottom into the sauce and then place down.
Press down a half of a almond onto each finger for the nail.
Serve and enjoy these super fun (and terrifying) bloody fingers!
Can I make these in advance?
Yes, you can make these a few hours in advance. Just make sure to keep them in the refrigerator until you serve.
