This Halloween, I was on a mission to create a new version of halloween witches fingers. I love Halloween sweets as much as the next person, but you know cheese has a special place in my heart. There are so many delicious witch finger cookie recipes out there (I linked some of these below in this post), so I figured I’d switch it up for something savory (and of course cheesy)! This mozzarella and prosciutto witch finger recipe is the perfect spooky charcuterie snack.

How to Make Witches Fingers
- 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 12 slices of prosciutto or speck
- 6-10 large black olives, halved
- 3 tbsp of cream cheese
Directions
- Cut the olive halves into the shape of a nail (I like to make mine round on one side and pointy on the other).
- Wrap each string cheese with a piece of prosciutto. Place on a serving platter.
- Spread a dab of cream cheese on the back of each olive piece (this will help it stick to the finger). Then top the end of each finger with the nail-shaped olive piece.
