Hot dog fingers
Yes, those are fingers made out of hot dogs and yes, we might think they are gross, but chances are your kids will think they are awesome. The fingers are hot dogs cooked in soy sauce and brown sugar to give them the right hue. You can also add in the fingernail details with a knife. Also included in this frightfully fun lunch are "bat eyes" (Cheerios covered in chocolate with some candy eyes), "bloody eyeballs" (tomatoes), "spider blood dipping sauce" (ketchup) and "last eyes of Newt" (grapes).
