Halloween Tombstone Sandwiches

These easy Halloween sandwiches look like tombstones in a graveyard. Add these spooky sandwiches to your party buffet or surprise the kids with tombstone sandwiches in their lunchbox.

We love these snack-size treats because they are healthier than most foods you will find during Halloween celebrations, such as candy and dessert. Plus, they are a sneaky way to get kids and adults to eat more greens!

While we used a simple garlic cream cheese spread with veggies, you could also substitute a tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad or slices of meat and cheese for a more filling bite-size food.

This recipe is perfect to use with the small loaves of dark bread, such as pumpernickel, that is often found in the deli section at the supermarket. These party-size bread slices are small and convenient for these graveyard sandwiches.

However, you can also use regular-size slices of bread. You may want to cut off the crusts with a knife, or use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes.

A printable recipe card is at the end of the post.

Makes 4 sandwiches.

Ingredients

• 1/3 Cup Cream Cheese plus extra for decorating
• 4 Slices of Dark Bread (such as rye or pumpernickel)
• 2 Cucumbers, sliced
• 1 Garlic Clove, minced
• 2 Cups Kale Microgreens (or other type of sprouts)
• Piping Bag or Zip-Top Plastic Baggie

Directions

Step 1

Place the cream cheese and garlic in a small bowl and blend together with a fork or the back of a spoon.

Step 2

Add 2-3 tablespoons of the microgreens into the cream cheese mixture. Stir together.

Step 3

Cut a piece of bread into 2 pieces lengthwise.

Spread one half of the bread with the cheese mixture.

Step 4

Lay a few slices of cucumber on top of the cream cheese spread and the cover with a second piece of bread.

Step 5

Add some cream cheese to a piping bag or zip-top plastic bag with the corner snipped off.

Then write the letters RIP on top. Add a border around the edge of the bread to resemble a tombstone.

Step 6

Add handfuls of micro greens or sprouts to a plate to resemble grass. Then arrange the sandwiches on the microgreens to serve.

Alternatively, you could stand up the tombstone sandwiches on the plate of microgreens for a great display.
