How to Make Bloody Finger Hot Dogs for Halloween

Bring a pot of water to a boil.

For the fingernail, slice down the two sides and across the top, then curve the cut at the bottom. Carefully remove the piece for the nail. They don’t have to be perfect!

Can you make these hot dogs in advance?

You can prep the hot dogs by cutting the details on the fingers ahead of time! Once carved, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container, good for 3-4 days. Just don’t cook them early—hot dogs taste best served fresh!
