Bewitching Breadsticks

Innocent breadsticks are transformed into Halloween mischief when dyed sliced almonds are tucked into the ends to look like Dracula fingernails.

Makes 12 servings.

1 can (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
4 to 5 drops Red McCormick® Assorted Food Colors and Egg Dye
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Pizza or spaghetti sauce

1. Separate and twist breadsticks as directed on package.

2. Squeeze 4 to 5 drops food color into small bowl. Dip individual almond slices into food color until each is coated. Press one dyed almond into one end of each breadstick to resemble a fingernail. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese onto breadsticks, if desired.

3. Bake as directed on package. Serve with your favorite pizza or spaghetti sauce for dipping.

Test Kitchen Tip: Wear disposable plastic gloves when dipping the almonds to avoid staining your fingers.
