Directions
- Mix peanut butter, powdered milk, and honey together in a bowl until mixture resembles a soft dough. This will be the ‘flesh’ of the fingers.
- Mold enough dough around each pretzel rod, making sure to cover the ends. The pretzels will be the ‘bones’ of the fingers.
- Use the tip of a teaspoon the make marks on the ‘flesh’ similar to knuckles.
- Push 1 sliced almond onto 1 end of each ‘finger’ to resemble a finger nail.
- Place jam in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until softened, 20 to 30 seconds. Dip the end opposite the ‘finger nail’ into the jam for the ‘blood’.
