Goblin Toes (Cocktail Franks, Cream Cheese & Pimentos)
"I made this gruesome little appetizer for my son's 11th birthday party with a "gross out" theme and they were a huge hit. I got the idea from a recipe on the Disney Family Fun website and twisted it a little to get this. They look just like little toes with overgrown toenails but they sure didn't taste as bad as that sounds! They didn't last very long (I only got to eat ONE) and when they were gone, the kids kept asking for more. They would also make a good addition to a Halloween party."

- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 3
- Serves:
-
50
ingredients
- 1 (1 lb) package cocktail franks
- 1 (1 lb) package cream cheese
- 50 sliced pimentos, drained (approximately)
directions
- Heat the cocktail franks according to package directions to ensure food safety. Let cool.
- Cut a 1/4" square notch on the side near the end of each cocktail frank (see the picture). This will be the "toenail bed.".
- Spread a little bit of cream cheese on the "toenail bed" area.
- Place a pimento on top of the cream cheese to represent the "toenail.".
- Skewer each "toe" with a toothpick to keep it from rolling around.
- Make about an hour before you plan on serving them or the cream cheese gets crusty, which adds to the gross out factor but not the taste.

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River.
Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born.
The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good.
I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
