Halloween week is here and what better way than to start off the week with a fun and ghoulish recipe? This year, one of my favorite family websites FamilyFun.com is featuring Halloween ideas by Sandra Lee. These are perfect for the impromptu Halloween get together with friends or a pre-trick-or-treating party for the kids.
We had so much fun making these creepy Mummy Fingers that we decided to make an entire Halloween prep day out of it. The day was full of pumpkin carving, candy apple making and cob web porch decorating. We also finished it off with a spooktacular Helter Seltzer refreshing drink. See Sandra Lee’s step- by-step video below for the super easy recipe and instructions. By the way, Sandra is dressed as Mother Nature in the video. She’s so fun!
“Celebrate with Sandra Lee” on FamilyFun.com is a brand new web series that gives parents simple, spooky ideas for their family’s Halloween celebration. Celebrity chef and entertainer Sandra Lee brings her trademark style to Halloween, creating clever kid and adult costumes, pre-trick-or-treat eats, and cool-and-creepy crafts. The ideas are fun, easy to execute, and can be made with things you already have around the house!
Mummy Fingers
Recipe from FamilyFun.com
Ingredients
1 package cocktail weiners (or mini turkey dogs)
1 package phyllo dough
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Almond slivers
Prepared tomato or pizza sauce
Italian seasoning
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Start with cocktail wieners. First, slice into the top of the dog to make a small opening that will form the cuticle once nails are added. Slide a sliced almond into each opening to form a nail. It’s okay if they look sloppy: Mummies never get good manicures.
Next, wrap the fingers in mummy bandages (also known as phyllo dough that you’ve cut with a pizza roller.) Spray the dough with oil, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Pop the fingers in the oven for 12 minutes while you work on the dipping sauce. To make it, add some Italian seasoning to some pizza or tomato sauce. Heat it up and you’ve got a bloody good dipping sauce!
What are you going to wash down your yummy mummy fingers with? May we suggest a Helter Seltzer? Watch Sandra Lee’s video below and see how quick and easy these are to prepare.

La semana de Halloween ya está aquí y qué mejor manera que empezar la semana con una receta divertida y macabra? Este año, uno de mis sitios favoritos para la familia es FamilyFun.com llena de ideas para prepararnos para Halloween con la famosa chef, Sandra Lee. Sus ideas son perfectas y únicas para reuniones entre amigos en Halloween y fiestas para los niños antes de ir a pedir dulces.
Nos divertimos mucho haciendo estos deditos de momia espeluznantes que nos decidimos a dedicarle todo el día a prepararnos para Halloween. El día estaba lleno de calabazas, hicimos manzanas cubiertas con caramelo y decoramos nuestra casa con telarañas. También, concluimos nuestro dia con una bebida refrescante llamada Helter Seltzer. Vea el video a continuación donde Sandra Lee nos muestra paso a paso esta receta súper fácil de seguir. Por cierto, Sandra está vestida como la madre naturaleza en el video. Ella es tan divertida!

Deditos de Momia
Receta cortesía de FamilyFun.com
Ingredientes
1 paquete de salchichas cóctel (o mini salchichas de pavo)
1 paquete de masa de hojaldre
1 / 2 taza de queso parmesano rallado
rebanadas de almedras
salsa de tomate preparada( o de pizza)
Sazonador Italiano
Precaliente el horno a 375 grados. Comience con rebanando la parte superior de la salchichas de cóctel. Haciendo una pequeña abertura en forma de cutícula para insertar las “uñas” (las almendras). Inserte una rebanada de almendra en cada abertura. Está bien si se ven chuecas y descuidadas: las momias nunca tienen un buen manicure.
Luego, envuelva los “dedos” en las “vendas” de momia (también conocida como masa de hojaldre y que haya cortado con un cortador de pizza). Rocíe la masa con aceite y espolvoree con queso parmesano.
Hornee los “dedos” durante 12 minutos mientras prepara la salsa. Para hacerlo, añade un poco de sazonador italiano a la salsa de tomate (o salsa para pizza). Caliéntela en el microondas y tendrá una salsa muy sangrienta lista para los deditos de momia!
Al final, refrésquese con un Helter Seltzer. Vea el video de Sandra Lee para obtener la receta.

My favorite Halloween tradition is eating too much sugar.
i love halloween, we begin celebrating on Oct and end after Dia de los muertos…food,sweets,scary movies and decroations..fun,fun,fun..
cute treat!
I love Sandra Lee! But you know, I'm not really that into Halloween. Though recently, I believe my favorite Halloween tradition is eating all of my son's candy. He doesn't really need it.
I love it how Americans are so passionate about Halloween. All those ideas to decorate, dress up and eat! Those bloody eyeballs look so creepy, I'm sure kids would love them
I love walking the neighborhood with a big group of friends!
Trick or treating as a family
Thanks for the chance to win!
