Provided by sydsmama

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 16 fingers, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 (8 count) cans crescent roll dough
1 (16 ounce) package of cocktail smokies
8 black olives, halved lengthwise to use as nails

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Open a can of crescent rolls, and unroll the dough.
  • Place one triangular piece of crescent roll dough on the cookie sheet.
  • Put a cocktail smokie in the wide end of the dough triangle.
  • Roll the dough around the sausage. You should have one layer of dough covering it completely-no edges peeking out! This is the base of the finger, and you should still have some crescent roll dough left over.
  • Roll the remaining dough to form the rest of the finger, tapering it at the end and rounding it off so it looks realistic.
  • Put 1/2 of an olive on the end of the finger. Tuck the edges into the dough so that it looks like a fingernail. Use a knife to score "wrinkles" into the knuckles.
  • Put the fingers in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown.
