Halloween Recipe: Avocado Witches Fingers

10.10.2011Jackie Dodd-Mallory(Senior Editor) 35 Comments

Spooky Halloween treat. Looks like slimy, severed fingers, makes you hungry, right? That’s the best part about Halloween, you get to make crazy, gross, appetizers that are inspired by dismembered body parts and people love it.

Spooky Avocado Witches Fingers

4 Avocados
peeled, pitted and halved
1 tbs lemon or lime juice
2 ounces goat cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 ounce prosciutto slices

Cut each avocado half into 4-6 slices. Place in medium bowl and gently toss in lemon juice.

Fill the center of each avocado slice with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese mixture.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper and chili powder.

Wrap each avocado “finger” with 1/3 slice of prosciutto until the goat cheese is secured to the avocado. Make sure to leave the tip of the avocado exposed, to resemble a finger nail. Arrange the avocados in the shape of a hand on the plate to add extra spookiness. Serve and Enjoy!

Let the goat cheese soften and fill the avocado when it is only halved then slice into pieces. Much neater and less labor intensive. Also dip knife in hot water to aide in cutting

Just sayin, witchy fingers are good for ANY DAY.

And I realized, it is reasonable to think you are making these for company, but when you are forced to eat the first few because your wrapping skills are not dabomb?

You wonder if they really SHOULD be for company. Or for you. Now.

I agree, good every day. I made them for a Halloween food contest, so that’s why the strange name. But tasty snack all year long 🙂
