Ingredients

• 8 pieces medium carrots
• 8 pieces almonds
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. Trim the ends to create a flat surface on both sides of each carrot.

Step 2

Using a paring knife, carefully carve out small, shallow indentations along one side of each carrot to mimic knuckle lines.

Step 3

Cut off a tiny sliver at the tapered end of each carrot to make a flat surface for the almond 'fingernail' to adhere.

Step 4

Spread a small amount of cream cheese onto the flat end where the fingernail will go. Press an almond onto the cream cheese to create the look of a nail.

Step 5

Dab a tiny bit of ketchup around the bottom of each carrot, as if it's a severed finger, for a spooky look.

Step 6

Repeat the process for all the carrots.

Step 7

Arrange the finished carrot fingers on a platter and serve immediately. Optionally, include a small bowl of ketchup or a dip of your choice for extra spookiness and flavor!
