Steps:
- Pour the gelatin mix into a large bowl. Slowly stir in the boiling water. Stir at least 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in the pineapple juice. Let cool to room temperature.
- Wearing heavy duty gloves or using tongs, place the block of dry ice in the bottom of the cauldron. (Dry ice will burn skin, so handle it with gloves and tongs and keep it away from kids and pets!)
- Use an ice pick to break the block into smaller chunks, if necessary.
- Fill the cauldron with just enough water to cover the dry ice. It will begin to "steam."
- Place the punch bowl inside the cauldron, on top of the dry ice. The cauldron will appear to be magically smoking.
- Entrap the sterilized rubber hand between the cauldron and the punch bowl, squeezing it tight so the hand appears to be reaching out of the mist for help. Hot-glue the hand to the cauldron, if necessary, to hold it in place.
- Carefully pour the drink mixture into the punch bowl. Slowly add the chilled vodka and lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Stir gently to mix.

HALLOWEEN WITCHES' FINGERS BREADSTICKS
Witch finger will you eat first? Here are two ways to make delightfully creepy witches' fingers breadsticks - use either sliced almonds for the gnarly fingernail or go for bell pepper for a nut-free version. Mani-pedi, anyone?

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or, if the temperature on your package of refrigerated breadstick dough indicates a different temperature, follow the temperature on the package. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- Unroll the breadsticks onto a large cutting board (or your counter or wherever you like to do doughy things).
- Using a pizza cutter, slice each breadstick in half vertically and again horizontally. Each breadstick should be about 3-4 inches long and 1/2-inch to 1 inch wide, but perfection is highly discouraged! The more rustic the more realistic. :)
- Roll the dough a bit to round it a bit/give it more of a finger shape. Lay it on the baking sheet.
- Using your thumb, press down on the narrowest tip of each breadstick. If using almonds, press a sliced almond onto each tip. If using bell peppers, you'll add them AFTER the breadsticks have baked.
- Now, you have a couple of options. You can grab the pizza cutter or a bread knife and press a three or four horizontal lines into the middle of the breadstick so it'll look a bit like a knuckle. And/or, if desired, brush lightly with egg. This will give them a slightly shinier and more golden appearance. Or skip those steps and just stick 'em in the oven already!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until puffy and starting to brown on the top. But again, if the label on your breadsticks indicates a different time, I recommend going by that time and just checking them often.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If adding bell pepper for the fingernails, after they've cooled, dab the tip with a bit of cream cheese and stick the bell pepper on. You may want to dry the pepper off with a paper towel so it will adhere better.
- Arrange on a plate or in mini mason jars filled with marinara or pizza sauce. Bloooody!
- Almond-tipped fingers keep in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. Because of the cream cheese and cut pepper, I recommend storing that version in the refrigerator.
WITCH FINGER BREADSTICKS
These eerie breadsticks, made with store-bought pizza dough, get their flavor from Italian seasoning and sesame seeds. Turning each rope of dough in the middle forms a gnarly finger knuckle which, paired with a green olive "nail," helps to create a haunting and delicious appetizer!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk the oil, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
- Lightly flour a work surface and divide the dough into 10 equal portions with a bench scraper or chef's knife. Roll each portion into a 10-inch rope. Twist each rope in the middle and arrange on the prepared baking sheets. (Each twist will look like a gnarly witch knuckle.)
- Brush the breadsticks with the seasoned oil and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Firmly press an olive half on the end of each breadstick to stick to the dough. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with warm marinara sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Lay a sheet of waxed paper onto a work surface. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 16 individual triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise creating 32 isosceles triangles. Arrange triangles on the waxed paper.
- Sprinkle a pinch of mozzarella cheese in a thin line parallel to the shortest edge of each triangle, ensuring the cheese doesn't touch the edges. Top the mozzarella cheese with Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes.
- Roll the short end of each triangle halfway toward the top point, creating a rim, and sprinkle garlic powder over dough. Place a mushroom half on half of the triangles, midway between the rim and the top point, and a pepperoni half in the same place on the remaining triangles. Place 1 or 2 olive slivers against the rim to form a "ribbon" or "belt" on each "hat". Place the "hats" on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

WITCH'S FINGER BREAD STICKS WITH MAPLE MUSTARD DIP

Categories Bread Mustard Bake Vegetarian Kid-Friendly Halloween Almond Fall Maple Syrup Gourmet
Yield Makes 4 dozen fingers and 1 1/4 cups dip
Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- For dough:
- Stir together water, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until sugar is dissolved; let stand until yeast bubbles, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in 1 cup of flour on low speed until combined.
- Clean dough from paddle, then attach dough hook. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 1/2 cups flour to mixture and beat until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl, about 3 minutes. (If dough is too sticky, add enough of 1/2 cup remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is no longer sticky.)
- Oil a large bowl and transfer dough to bowl, then turn dough over to coat it with oil. Cover bowl with a dry towel, then let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until it is double in size, about 1 hour.
- For fingers:
- While dough is rising, place green food coloring in a small bowl, and using a paintbrush, paint one side of the almond slices or the rounded side of the peanut halves.
- Heat oven to 450°F with rack in middle. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide dough into quarters. Work with 1 piece at a time, and keep remaining dough covered.
- Roll one quarter into a 12-inch log, then cut it into 12 (1-inch) pieces.
- Dust work surface with additional flour, if necessary, to facilitate rolling. Roll and stretch each piece into a craggy 5-inch "finger." Transfer fingers to baking sheets and let stand at warm room temperature, loosely covered with a smooth kitchen towel, until fingers are slightly puffed, 15 minutes.
- Pinch top of fingers to look like knuckles, then lightly score each knuckle with a sharp knife.
- Brush fingers with egg wash, then press on nails. With cleaned paintbrush, dab a little red color around the cuticles. Sprinkle fingers all over with pretzel or coarse sea salt.
- Bake fingers until deep golden, about 15 minutes (form more fingers while first batch is baking). Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Repeat forming and baking in batches with remaining dough.
- For dip:
- Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, and maple syrup until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Use a hearty, flavorful bread that can hold up to the strong flavors of the other ingredients. Sourdough, rye, and whole wheat breads are all good choices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with ingredients: The beauty of witch's bread is that it's a very versatile dish. You can add any number of different ingredients to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular additions include cheese, herbs, spices, and vegetables.
- Be careful not to overcook the bread: Witch's bread is best when it's cooked until it's just heated through. Overcooking will make the bread dry and tough.
- Serve witch's bread warm: This dish is best enjoyed warm from the oven. You can serve it as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
Conclusion:
Witch's bread is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its hearty bread, flavorful ingredients, and unique presentation, witch's bread is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
