You know, maybe I’ll make several meat hands and take them to a party.

  1. I am for sure adding this to my Halloween food repertoire. My current favorite dish is a “brains on the half skull” dip (basically, sculpting cream cheese into a skull with the crown cut off, filling with cocktail sauce “blood”, and shaping two hemispheres of a brain with lump crap meat).

    Also good are these witches finger cookies (see here, but there are a million variations out there).

  2. Hot damn, @3!!! Consider your “brains on the half skull” officially lifted. I will credit you in all materials in which such credits appear.

  3. Martha Stewart has a great Halloween “finger” cookie with an almond half for the nail. You make dents for the knuckles and lines with a fork for the lines in the knuckles. Bake it and it looks real.

  4. @8 I’m happy to spread the brains. It was originally part of the menu for a zombie party I had a few years ago. The cream cheese thing takes a little bit, but other than that it’s really easy.

    And @9 – Those finger cookies do look real. I freaked out my 3-year old nephew with them last year. Ah, Halloween, how I love you.
