In our second Halloween recipe installment, we venture towards the macabre with this recipe for Bloody Fingers in a Blanket (AKA chorizo in puff pastry). They look revolting, but they are quite the crowd pleaser. Serve these quick and easy recipe to kids or adults at your Halloween soirée.

Bloody Fingers in a Blanket (AKA chorizo in puff pastry)

1 lb. chorizo (can also use sausage or Portuguese linguica)

Puff pastry

Red pepper jelly

Cut sausage into 3” pieces and brown in a pan for 3-4 minutes.  Preheat oven to 425.  Line a cookie sheet with a silpat mat or spray Pam on an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet.

Remove sausage from heat and cut a  2” wide pieces of puff pastry into long rectangles.  I like the DuFour brand of puff pastry, but you could even use pie or pizza dough for this.  

Brush the inside of each piece of puff pastry with a little red pepper jelly and roll a piece of chorizo in the pastry until ½ of sausage is enclosed in the pastry.

Bake at 425 for 7-8 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.  

Serve with grainy mustard and Tabasco spiked catsup.

NOTE: If you’d like to add that little extra special touch, ADD AN ALMOND FOR NAILS AND PAINT THEM RED!
