Halloween is starting to creep up again (hehe… geddit?), and I’ve got you sorted with these Spooktacular Shortbread Halloween Fingers.
These Halloween fingers are sure to creep anyone out! I tried playing a joke on Josh and said that I hurt my finger, and he thought these were absolutely disgusting. He can’t even eat them, they’re that gross looking! That’s a win in my books lol!
So, this is just a simple shortbread recipe, I have made it into a small batch, but you could double it to make more. This made 8 fingers but they did thicken while baking, so you could make them thinner and perhaps have about 10 – 12 fingers.
I used St Dalfour Strawberry Jam to stick the blanched almonds on them for fingernails, but you could use a raspberry jam or any type of jam really! But the red jams look the best for this recipe.

Shortbread Halloween Fingers
Ingredients
- 100g vegan butter (I used nuttelex)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla paste
- 2 Tbsp caster sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 2 Tbsp rice flour
- Strawberry or raspberry jam
- Blanched almonds
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 160°C
- In a standing mixer or with a hand mixer mix the butter and vanilla until well incorporated.
- Then add the caster sugar and mix until a creamy consistency.
- Then add the flour and rice flour.
- On a floured surface knead the dough a little till smooth. Break off bits of the dough and form into a finger shape. At one end make a little indentation and put a small bit of jam in there – about 1/4 tsp or less. Press a blanched almond into it to make a finger nail. I also used a knife to make creases in the knuckles.
- Place on a lined baking tray – I greased the tray with nuttelex also.
- Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until cooked. Let cool and then serve with some more strawberry jam for extra effect. Enjoy!
