Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter (or an allergy-friendly spread)
- 2 tablespoons Strawberry jam
- 8 pieces Cucumber slices
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 16 pieces Candy googly eyes (optional)
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients and prepare a clean work surface for assembling the sandwiches.
Using Halloween-themed cookie cutters (e.g., pumpkins, ghosts, bats), cut festive shapes out of the sandwich bread slices. You will need 2 matching shapes for each sandwich.
Spread cream cheese on one side of 4 bread pieces and peanut butter on one side of the other 4 pieces.
For some sandwiches, spread a thin layer of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese to create a 'bloody' effect.
For savory sandwiches, layer cucumber slices and cheddar cheese between two bread pieces. Optionally, use small amounts of cream cheese to 'glue' them together if needed.
If using candy googly eyes, attach them to the top of each sandwich shape by spreading a tiny bit of cream cheese as adhesive.
Assemble all sandwiches by matching up the shapes, making sure the fillings are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately on a platter decorated with Halloween-themed props, or wrap them individually for spooky lunchbox surprises.
