I tried it for halloween this year, the kids had fun shaping their own cookie-finger. It was slightly crumbly while they were eating it, although the joy in their faces as they eat their own "shaped" cookie-fingers made it even more memorable. In the future, I'll try it with a different cookie recipe and see how this will work.

I found that the fingers turned into puddles. I had to take them out of the oven every 5 minutes or so,reform them,put them back in the oven.Had to do this 2 or 3 times.I think they would work better using your old fashioned peanut butter cookie recipe.I intend on trying it again using my suggestion and will post my results.

This was the worst recipe I've ever made and all of the Kraft recipes I've made (many) have always turned out so well. The fingers did not "re-form" easily at all; instead they ended up a gooey and crumbly mess. I had to wonder when there wasn't a hint of flour in this recipe. Stay away from this one!

We made this recipe, and everyone loved them! We dipped some of the almonds in red and others in green food coloring. As well we put a little bit of red food coloring on the end of some of the fingers before baking to make them look like the fingers had been chopped off. Huge success!They do puff up, but easy to reform as soon as taken out of the oven. Will make these again! Even passed the recipe onto other mothers, who couldn't believe how few ingredients were in the recipe! Huge hit! We quadrupled the recipe and they didn't last long! Thanks Kraft Canada!!

Bought the Phil. PB cough dough and then followed the rest of the intsructions, the fingers really swelled but were not to bad to re-shape. A little large for a womens finger but taste great !!

I love making this recipe every year for my coworkers. The only problem is that sometimes the fingers are hard to form but other than that it's a hit.

We have had large children's halloween parties for 5 years now and these are a favourite of everyone. I love that they are so easy to make.
