I love this time of year and Halloween is just plain fun. I love serving fun food during the week leading up to Halloween. Today I made some delicious Peanut Butter Witches Fingers with a Creamy Peanut Butter Dip. I’ve been using the New Peter Pan Simply Ground Peanut Butter all week, 2 jars so far and working on 3. Can you tell I like it? There’s a Honey Roast version also. I love the consistency of it, so “creamy with a BIT OF CRUNCH.” It is the perfect balance and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Never stand there and wonder again, smooth or crunchy! With a texture just like freshly ground peanut butter, Simply Ground Peanut Butter spreads evenly on bread without tearing it, unlike some creamy and crunchy peanut butters. You can see the texture above of the peanut butter right out of the jar. I love the wide mouth jar also, it’s perfect for dipping. Making these cookies is so simple and only 5 Ingredients! Simply Ground Peanut Butter, butter, vanilla, confectioner’s sugar and flour. So easy. The texture of the peanut butter is perfect for these cookies! Shaping the cookies is fun. Don’t be fussy about the shapes. Having each cookie look a little different makes it look like lots of fingers. I also made the tassel garland you see in the back of the pictures. You can make a pretty good size garland rather quickly once you get the hang of it. I used tissue paper I found at Walmart when I was buying the Simply Ground Peanut Butter. They had a great variety of colors too! I have a tool that cuts the tassels for me but a pair of scissors will work. To prepare the tissue for cutting, take 1 sheet of paper and fold it in half lengthwise. Then fold it in half again from the opposite side. Cut into 2 equal pieces. Cut 1/2 inch cuts up to within 1 inch of the folded top edge. Run a piece of wire thru the top and I crinkled and wrapped the garland around at the top. Twist the wire together to keep it closed at the top. 5.0 from 1 reviews Peanut Butter Witches Fingers Author: Mary Ellen Recipe type: Cookies, Halloween Prep time: 25 mins Cook time: 12 mins Total time: 37 mins Serves: 18 cookies 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature 1/3 cup Simply Ground Peanut Butter. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar sliced almonds red paste food coloring (optional) brown paste food coloring (optional) 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature 1/3 cup Simply Ground Peanut Butter. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar sliced almonds red paste food coloring (optional) brown paste food coloring (optional) Mix the butter and Simply Ground Peanut Butter.together.
