Halloween Finger food or monster digits

5 pieces mozzarella string cheese

1 fresh green bell pepper

cream cheese

Cut each piece of string cheese in half. Create a shallow area for a fingernail just below the rounded end of each half. Mark the joint right below the nail as well as the knuckle joint, by carving out tiny horizontal wedges of cheese.

For the fingernails, slice a green bell pepper into 3/8-inch-wide strips. Cut the strips into the shape of the nail you desire — ragged, rounded, or pointed. Place at the ends of the fingers of cheese with a little cream cheese to hold them in place.

Yield: 10 monster fingers.
