.Severed Fingers.

Who would have thought cocktail weenies could look this gross? This recipe is a single serving, just multiply as needed.


.Ingredients.
3 cocktail sausages
3 triangles of yellow bell pepper
Ketchup or BBQ sauce, as needed


.Instructions.
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

2. To make each serving of three fingers, create 3 shallow horizontal slices about halfway up each cocktail sausage for "knuckles."

3. Boil sausages until cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool slightly.

4. With a sharp knife, cut a small flat space at the tip of the sausage for a "nail." Using a bit of ketchup, mayonnaise, or BBQ sauce, press a nail into each finger.

5. Fill a cup (in the photo it's a plastic muffin cup, but you can use a ramekin, a little clear glass, or whatever) with a couple tablespoons of ketchup, BBQ sauce (these recipes are great!), or any other red-colored sauce. Place assembled fingers in the cup, burying the ends slightly in the sauce. Serve hot.


.Tips.
* Heating the sauce helps keep this disgusting Halloween food from cooling down too fast.
* You can substitute the bell pepper with onion if you prefer but the yellow bell pepper gives it that thick gross fingernail appeal.
* You could also use canned Vienna sausage to make this a real quickie to throw together. No need to heat, just serve room temperature!
