Halloween Sandwiches and Lunch Treats

When Halloween falls on a school day, I add these fall themed treats to children's lunches with labels on the bags for a bit of lunchtime "eeww"s and aahh's:

1. Halloween Sandwiches - chicken salad sandwiches with the bread cut out of Halloween shaped cookie cutters.
2. Deviled Eyeballs - hard boiled eggs sliced, green olives sliced for irises, and red gel frosting for veins.
3. Spicy Bat Wings - chicken wings
4. Toasted Bones - You will need:

• 1 pkg refrigerated bread sticks
• 1 egg white
• sesame seeds or
• poppy seeds or
• cinnamon sugar or
• Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Line cookie sheet with foil.
2. Unroll breadsticksand separate.
3. Roll each bread stick making in 10 inches long.
4. With a knife cut in half.
5. At each end of the bread stick tie a half knot. They should look like doggie bones.
6. With a pastry brush apply a light coat of egg white.
7. Sprinkle bones with your desired toppings.
8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.

You can serve these treats for lots of different parties. It's all about the presentation! So remember the labels. For a third grade classroom celebration I was asked to bring grapes. To make it spookier, I made a sign that said, "Watch out... Spider Egg sacks." Gross, right? But the kids gobbled them up just as fast as the sweeter treats provided. Have a Happy Halloween lunch!
