Halloween fingers from Stephy
We had a great Halloween night at Steph’s place on the 31st, and the food was awesome too. Among the halloween themed lollies, we had zombie fingers and cheese and pineapple stick things and these really nice chocolate coffee drops (which unfortunately I only tried toward the end of the night). Steph was nice enough to share the recipe (I’m not sure where it originated from, so sorry to the original authors that there’s no credit). It might be a bit late, but hey. They’re so much fun, you could make them for anything!
