Halloween lunch with ghost sandwiches!

This is a Spon­sored post writ­ten by me on behalf of Won­der bread for SocialSpark. All opin­ions are 100% mine.

I love mak­ing fun lunches for the boys, but hadn’t made one in a while! With Hal­loween right around the cor­ner, I thought a fright­fully fun lunch was appro­pri­ate. I wanted to make ghost sand­wiches, but you can’t make those with whole wheat bread! It had to be white bread and I was pleased to find a great option in the new Won­der bread Smart­white for Kids. The iconic brand (for more than 90 years now!) just launched Smart­white for Kids this sum­mer. It’s baked with no high fruc­tose corn syrup and is only 50 calo­ries per slice. Plus, it’s for­ti­fied with the fiber of 100% whole wheat bread and con­tains the cal­cium of an 8-ounce glass of milk. So, I was thrilled that I could make ghost sand­wiches that are fun and healthy! Whether you serve it up at home or send it in a lunch­box, a Hal­loween lunch will def­i­nitely be a hit with the kids!

Ghost Sand­wiches

- Pre­pare your kids’ favorite sand­wich using Won­der bread Smart­white for Kids. I made turkey and pro­volone, which was per­fect for the ghosts as it kept every­thing fairly white.

- Cut out ghosts from the sandwich(es). A ghost cookie cut­ter would work great for this, but I didn’t have one. With a knife, I just free-handed two ghosts out of one whole sand­wich. Then, I used cut black olives to cre­ate a face on the front of the bread. For the rest of the lunch, I used var­i­ous orange & black foods. A Hal­loween lunch didn’t feel com­plete with­out pump­kins, so I made cheese jack o’ lanterns. Using my pump­kin cookie cut­ter, I cut some shapes out of a cheese slice. Then, I carved out a jack ‘o lantern face. You could just leave it, but I decided to make it black by stuff­ing cut black olives into the open­ings I had carved out. To com­plete our Halloween-themed lunch, car­rots & black olives were per­fect for veg­gie sides. We also had some dried papaya that I cut slices of for more great orange color. The boys loved it!!!
