- 1 slice of green bell pepper

- 1 tablespoon sour cream or ranch dressing (for attaching the fingernails)
Instructions
- Prepare the String Cheese:
- Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick in half to make 12 “fingers.”

- Create the Fingernails:
- Slice the olives, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper into small, fingernail-shaped pieces.
- Attach the fingernail shapes to the tips of the string cheese using a small amount of sour cream or ranch dressing. You can also use a toothpick to gently carve out a nail bed for a more secure attachment.
- Serve:
- Arrange the Zombie Fingers on a plate and enjoy!
Notes
- For a more secure attachment of the fingernails, ensure the cheese is slightly chilled.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties or vegetable cuts for creative variations.
