Creepy, crispy and child’s play to make. Hand ’em around, haha!
2 sheets ready-rolled
shortcrust pastry
Raw almonds
Nudie Nuttie Butter
(see recipe in Spread it Around)
OR
nut or seed butter of choice
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Cut each pastry sheet into 3 rectangles and each rectangle into 4 slices. Roll each slice into a ball and then into a log shape – just like making ‘snakes’ with playdough!
Squeeze in a little towards the top of each finger to make it look knobbly and use a knife to score marks to create wrinkly knuckles. Push an almond into the end as a fingernail.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove any almonds that haven’t already popped off during cooking and, while the pastry is still soft, use the end of a knife to recreate the nail bed. Dob a little nut butter into each and replace almonds.
