There’s nothing better than a few spooky concoctions for Halloween. The fingers are soft, but the fingertip is crunchy for a seriously creepy feel!
This is one of our favorite Halloween pizza ideas that both adults and kids alike will love, so let’s get started!
Ingredients
- Pizza crust: You can use a store-bought crust or use our homemade pizza crust recipe to make one from scratch.
- Red bell pepper: Triangular pieces of red bell pepper create the creep witch finger look.
- Sauce: We used marinara sauce, and pizza sauce works well too.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Tomato paste: This helps to hold the fingernail in place
If you like, you can also put out a dipping sauce such as creamy garlic or marinara sauce to go along with!
How to Make Pizza Fingers
So the idea for this recipe is to bake a cheese pizza and then cut it into finger-sized pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. (If you want to save time, you can even buy a thin-crust cheese pizza and do the same.)
The next step is to make each pizza finger resemble a witch’s finger. Start by tapering one end into a trianguilar or rounded shape using a paring knife. Then press a triangular piece of red bell pepper into place using a dab of tomato paste for adhesion purposes. Voilà – your witch fingers are ready to serve!
Note: You can make them ahead of time and microwave on high power for 1-2 minutes to reheat before serving.
