Before I get started blowing sprinkler lines and assisting in biology and chemistry labs, I needed to make something special for my wife's Halloween party at work. So, I decided that the easiest (Yep, I'm lazy) thing to do, would be to make my Cheesy Bread and try and make them look like fingers.

What I did was make the actual recipe and then added a few things to it:

Olives...cut into fourths for the finger nails
2 Tbsp of the Garlic Sauce (yes, yet another shameless link) and I added some red food coloring to it.

Once the bread sticks were ready to be dressed, I cut a slit in the end of each one and placed one of the olive slices. I then took the garlic sauce, with the red food coloring added, and painted the other end of the bread stick. Finally, I placed a stick (stake) up the middle of each one, which is why I can call them: Finger Stakes :-)

I then dressed and baked the little guys as normal.

Here they are before being covered with cheese...
