These creepy monster fingers take a bit of work but are well worth it. Ready-made breadstick dough is shaped, tinted with spray color and then topped with an almond "fingernail" and poppyseeds.

Ingredients
- 2 can refrigerated breadstick dough
- Orange, yellow & green food color sprays (see Note)
- White from 1 large egg
- 60 whole natural almonds
- poppy seeds
Directions
- Heat oven to 375°F. You'll need 2 large baking sheets lined with nonstick foil. Unroll 1 can breadstick dough and separate along perforated lines into 12 strips. For long fingers, halve strips crosswise into 24 pieces. Roll pieces into 10- to 12-in.-long ropes. Transfer to prepared baking sheets, spacing ropes 2 in. apart. Shape ropes into fun curves.
- Lightly tint the dough ropes in blotchy tones using the spray colors with short, quick spurts (use all three colors on each finger).
- Lightly brush with egg white and press an almond onto each for a fingernail. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Bake 13 minutes, or until puffed and lightly browned on bottom edges. Cool on sheet on wire rack. Wipe foil on baking sheets clean.
- Unroll remaining breadstick dough and separate into strips. For short fingers, cut each dough strip crosswise into thirds for 36 pieces. Roll dough pieces into 5- to 6-in.-long ropes and make fingers following the same procedure as for long fingers above. Bake as directed.
