Halloween witch fingers
Sweet treats are a must for Halloween - but we're happy to avoid all the sugar in Halloween recipes. Our Halloween witch fingers are made from a delicious low-carb shortcrust pastry without adding sugar and are topped with crispy almond fingernails. That's what we call spooky finger food.
Bake your own Halloween witch fingers without added sugar
For crispy Halloween witch fingers, a mixture of xylitol and erythritol is a good sugar substitute. We use Xucker Premium and Xucker Light.
Instructions
1. For the Halloween witch fingers, first knead all the ingredients except the almonds and food coloring into a shortcrust pastry and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 170 °C top and bottom heat.
3. Divide the dough into finger-sized pieces and shape into bony witch fingers. Model the finger joints.
4. Then place an almond on top as a nail and use a knife to scratch the folds into the finger joints.
5. Bake the witch fingers for about 20 minutes until golden brown, remove and allow to cool well.
6. Now the witch fingers can be brushed blood red with red food coloring if desired. You can remove the almonds from the finger again and stick them back on with a little food coloring.
