Severed-Finger Cheese Sticks Recipe

Round off the ends of each cheese stick with a paring knife to resemble a fingertip. Roughly tear each cheese stick in half to form two torn-off \fingers\.

Shave off a piece of each cheese \fingertip\ to form a nail bed; place an almond slice on the ail bed\ to form a \fingernail\.

Cut a few shallow lines in center of each \finger\ to form knuckle marks.

Pour several drops of hot sauce into small pools of \blood\ on a serving plate. Dip torn ends of the cheese fingers into \blood\ to resemble bloody fingers. Lay each \finger\ in its own pool of \blood\.
