Ingredients Needed For RIP Halloween Sandwich

• 4-6 slices of Pumpernickel bread
• 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
• 2 cucumbers
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 cups kale microgreens

Step-by-Step Preparation with Pictures

1. Place cream cheese in a small bowl. Add garlic.

2. Add kale microgreens.

3. Mix well.

4. On a cutting board, cut one bread slice into 2 slices lengthwise. Spread cream cheese mixture on one half.

5. Cut cucumbers into round slices. Lay out a few cucumber slices onto the cream cheese mixture and cover with the second slice of bread.

6. Fill in a piping bag with cream cheese. Use the smallest tip to draw a border and make a RIP inscription on the top of the sandwich.

No piping bag? Use a toothpick instead. Works just as fine! Another option is to use a white edible marker pen for a more precise decoration.

7. Arrange the tombstone sandwiches on a kale microgreen carpet. And voila! I told you it’s a super easy recipe.

Now show your kids and watch their faces lit up in awe!

Or place them in your kids’ lunch boxes for a surprise Halloween meal at school. You’ll miss seeing their faces though.

Customization And Variations

While these Halloween cheese sandwiches taste and look great, you don’t have to use the exact recipe to create the look.

Feel free to use your kid’s favorite sandwich spread and ingredients if you have doubts regarding cream cheese and garlic sandwich filling. Use ham and cheese or other deli meat, peanut butter or jelly, turkey and avocado, add olive slices and dill pickle – whatever works.

The only thing you’ll need to achieve the spooky tombstone look is the Pumpernickel brown bread. For the RIP inscription, you can use sour cream or mayonnaise.

Let your children’s preferences guide your choices and create a lunchtime surprise that’s guaranteed to put a smile on their faces.

Kid-Friendly Activity

Invite your little ones to join in the kitchen fun by letting them craft their own coffin Halloween sandwiches.

There are so many ways to customize these, so you can let your kids’ imagination go wild and have much fun. You’ll be amazed at their spooky creations.

Here are some other Halloween sandwich ideas:

• Use cookie cutters. The best part of these slices of bread is that they can be cut into spooky Halloween creatures using Halloween cookie cutters. Make a ghost sandwich with a ghost cookie cutter. Or use the jack-o’-lantern cookie cutter and turn it into a pumpkin shape.
• Spider sandwiches. For younger kids who wouldn’t understand the meaning of RIP and a tombstone, a cute spider sandwich might be just what you need. Cut thin stripes of sandwich cheese for a net and make cute spiders with black olives. Or arrange the cheese slices in the shape of a mummy and use black olives for the eyes. Use red food coloring to decorate.
