Clever Halloween Lunch Ideas

This sandwich idea is proof that you can make virtually anything festive enough for Halloween.  Turn the kids’ lunch box into a Halloween extravaganza with these clever ham sandwiches.  The best part is that you don’t have to do any special shopping.  Use the same whole wheat bread, cream cheese and ham as you normally would and then fashion each sandwich into two super festive coffin shapes.  Spooky but not scary and perfectly delicious.

Double Cheese Coffin Sandwiches

2 slices whole wheat bread
3 slices  OSCAR MAYER Smoked Ham
1 KRAFT Singles
1 Tbsp.  PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
1 lettuce leaf

COVER 1 of the bread slices with ham and Singles. Spread with cream cheese; top with lettuce. Secure with plastic toothpick, if desired.

CUT sandwich into coffin shape using coffin template and sharp knife. (Click here for template.) For a more durable template, trace the template onto a piece of cardboard and cut out.
