These Halloween sandwiches are a must for your spooky festivities! Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches become adorable ghosts and tombstones. Plus, I’m sharing 4 helpful tips so that you can easily make these healthy Halloween treats for your next Halloween potluck!
Using a 3-inch ghost cookie cutter, cut 8 ghost patterns out of 4 bread slices. (Note: my rectangular shaped bread slice is roughly 5 inches by 3.5 inches, so each bread slice makes 2 ghost patterns)
Using a small knife, spread 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 1 tbsp of blueberry preserves onto 4 ghosts. Add the top of the ghost.
Using chopsticks (or small tongs or tweezers), add two blueberries to the top side of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich so that they look like eyes.
Make the PB&J tombstone
Decorate the bottom of a dark cookie sheet with green apple licorice so that it looks like grass.
Place the RIP tombstones on top of the green apple licorice
Place the ghosts in the middle of the cookie sheet.
Scatter coconut flakes toward the top of the cookie sheet so they look like clouds.
