Baklava Monster Fingers

The first time I tried baklava, I’m pretty sure my brain exploded.  I had never tasted anything like it but I loved it instantly.  Buttery dough, nutty pistachios, and sweet syrup are all combined in a bite-sized treat.  Who could ask for more? Since then, I eat it every time it’s available (aka every time my boyfriend’s brother sends up sweets from Lebanon) and I’ve made baklava a number of times (to make it available more frequently). 

For Halloween, I decided to try to make the rolled baklava fingers rather than the square type.  As an added bonus, and since it’s almost Halloween, I turned them into monster fingers.
