Halloween Treats - Batty Bloody Mary

Pickle Salami Bats


Ingredients

•Salami
•Miniature circle cookie cutter
•Gherkins
•Cloves
•Wooden skewers
•Red food coloring

Directions

At the deli counter, ask the personnel to cut 1/4-inch-thick slices of salami. Cut the salami slice in half. You will be able to cut two wings from each slice.

Using a metal miniature circle cookie cutter (or the head portion of a small gingerbread-man cookie cutter), press half circles along the curved edge of the salami.

Use a tiny gherkin for the bat body.

Press the stems of wholes cloves into the wide end of the gherkin for eyes. Push the wings and then the body onto a wooden skewer.

If desired, tint the top of the skewer with red food coloring and let it flow onto the gherkin.
