Shape the palm

• Spread the cream cheese on the platter as a base for the hand.
• Layer the cured ham and prosciutto over it to build a palm-shaped mound.

Build the fingers

• Roll the salami slices into finger shapes and press them onto the palm.
• Arrange them in decreasing lengths to mimic the fingers and thumb.

Add the fingernails

• Press a blanched almond onto the tip of each finger to make the nails.

Decorate the hand

• Scatter the mozzarella balls and cheddar cubes around the hand.
• Add the black olives and red pepper strips for a creepy, bloody look.

Serve

• Arrange the crackers around the hand and serve chilled.
