How to Make These Fish Stick Fingers

First, preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the brand of fish sticks you purchased. Please remember that you may need to adjust your cooking time depending on how many fish sticks you decide to make.

Now it’s time to make a sauce to go with the fingers as you wait for your oven to preheat. You need “fresh blood” to serve with your creepy fingers. To make your sauce, add a few extra drops of red food coloring to your tartar sauce. Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

While fish sticks are cooking, cut your cheese into fingernails. You can simply freehand your cheese nails into small triangles, or cheat as I did. I dove into my cookie-cutter and found this butterfly cutout. I used the edge of the wing to form my nail. 100% in the form of a triangle. This made this step much quicker.

When ready, pull your baking fish sticks out for the last 2 minutes of cooking. This is an important step. You don’t want over cook your fish sticks, but you want to make sure you get the cheese on for a few minutes of cooking.

Now it’s the time to place your cheese nails on each fish stick. Once they are ready to go, carefully place them back in the oven and continue to bake for the last 2 minutes. You will get a perfectly cooked fish stick.

Get ready to add in those special embellishments. I used America Color Food Coloring. It is thicker in viscosity and is made for cakes and frosting fondant.

It will give it a more “real” look. This step needs to be quick if you want your kiddos to get warm food. But no rush, because this step happens in a snap.

Add on your knuckles using the same brand of food coloring in black. I am still amazed at how well these fish stick fingers turned out. They looked great, and the melted cheese fingernails were the perfect spooky touch!
