How can I make a bread product that looks like a small spine?
My son is having a Halloween theme for his 5th birthday party. He has requested "weak spines" as an accompaniment to our eyeball meatballs. My idea was to make breadsticks out of pizza dough by cutting off small pieces, rolling into "worms" and squeezing them in my fist to make them bumpy/boney looking. This was epic fail. I also tried just rolling them out and scoring them across with a knife to give the look of bone segments and that was also a fail. PLEASE HELP!!
oops... I forgot to mention that I can't use any kind of pillsbury products as they all contain ingredients my son can't have.

You might search "artisanbreadinfive pain d'epi" and you should find directions on "how to form pain d'epi". You can ignore all the photos until after the loaves of bread are formed, and look for the one where they're cutting the unrisen loaf with scissors. I wonder if you use essentially the same technique but cut straight across instead of at an angle, you could get a "spine" effect. And if you bake bread because your son can't handle certain commercially used ingredients, the book with the recipes is well worth getting. It has a very painless and efficient method of making your own bread.

I think the easiest way would to be buy some Pillsbury bread sticks (the ones in a roll in the refrigerated section) and just shape them the way you want and then bake. I love his theme, it's very creative considering it's not October!
