Happy Halloween…

I thought these were hysterical!  Another fun appetizer or snack, these 'fingers' are a delicious way to sneak in some nutrition while staying with the Halloween-theme. And at just 11 calories per finger, you can enjoy a few and still have plenty of room for a sweeter treat.
Ingredients:
5 low-fat mozzarella cheese sticks
2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
½ green pepper or red pepper, sliced into 10 'fingernail' sized pieces
Directions: Slice mozzarella sticks in half. Take your knife and make slight wedges on the cheese, to look like the folds of your finger and knuckle. Dig about ¼ inch of cheese out at the top. Place ½ teaspoon cream cheese in the ¼ inch hole. Place 1 green pepper "nail" on top.
Makes 12 servings; Nutrition score per serving (1 'finger'): 11 calories, 0.5g fat (0.2g saturated fat), 1.5g carbohydrates, 49.2mg sodium, 0.5g sugar, 0.3g protein
