Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • Toppings of choice

Instructions

  • To make the fingernails, slice the two sides of the fingernail, then straight across the top. Then make a slight curved slice for the bottom nail bed. Your slices should be very shallow, only about ⅛ of an inch deep.
  • Next, take your knife and carefully slice the fingernail piece off the top.
  • Make the knuckles, make one straight slit along the middle with two crescent slits directly above and below it at the center of the hot dog.
  • At this point, spray a large frying pan with non stick cooking oil and set your stove top to medium high. Place your hot dogs in the frying pan and cook them until all sides of the hot dogs are cooked and slightly golden.
  • Prepare your hot dogs buns with your choice of toppings, you want the toppings under the hot dogs so your main focal point in the "finger."
  • Place each hot dog finger into your prepared hot dog bun.

Notes

Have a lot of bloody finger hot dogs left over after your Halloween party or Halloween dinner? Cooked hot dogs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for upto 3 days. Reheat in the microwave covered with a damn paper towel to ensure the hot dogs don't dry out.
