When ghouls have a tea party, what do you think they serve? Finger sandwiches! These little bites have a double meaning in a creepy sort of way. Any filling can be used, but I chose homemade pimento cheese spread for a certain effect - an icky effect. My kids thought these were especially delicious and perfectly gross all at the same time. Although the photo doesn't show it, my favorite breads to use for this are white, rye and pumpernickel. Sliced almonds are just the right thing to make these really look like fingers.
