So cool! I used to make these with my grandma when I was little! Brings back good memories. ❤️
Meh, they’re just cheese sticks. I mean how special can they be? Not impressed.
Not bad, but I burnt some of them. Next time I’ll watch them closer. Cooking timing is key!
I made these for a party, and everyone just loved them! They looked creepy but were so delicious.
I didn’t have marinara, so I used ranch instead. Still delicious! Good, even if not traditional.
Ranch? That’s an interesting twist! I might have to try it that way. What kind of ranch did you use?
Sounds weird lol. Cheese sticks with ranch ain’t right. Stick to the classic marinara!
These are super fun for Halloween! My kids loved them, and they tasted great too! Will definitely make again.
You can make these with cheddar too! Cheddar finger sticks are the best. But yeah, mozzarella works too.
Really easy to make! I added some spices to the breadcrumbs, and it gave them an extra kick.
Not sure about these. The almonds for nails looked weird. Why not use something else?
I think I did it wrong. They were soggy and not crispy at all. No idea what I missed!
