Ingredients:
1 (11 ounce) cans refrigerated breadstick dough
1/4 teaspoon butter, melted
herbs or spices, to taste
pimiento, for tongue
sliced black olives, for eyes
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray each skewer with non-stick spray.
Wrap each breadstick around the skewer and flatten out the end a bit.
You will have to work with the dough a bit, but place 2 black olives on the top for eyes and a small piece of pimiento in the “mouth” for the tongue.
Bake on a prepared baking sheet for approximately 20 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the herbs/spices of your choice. Let cool.
If desired, slide the skewers off the bread or serve with the skewers in for easy handling.
NOTE: If desired, make the dough from scratch and use food coloring to make them green or knead in paste food coloring, using gloves to shield your hands from getting stained.
