Halloween Bento Box Lunch

31 Days of Fun Fall Ideas- Idea #23



This year I finally invested in some fun lunch containers and creative forks, picks, cookie cutters etc...to make lunches more fun.  I will eventually post several other bentos ideas, but since this was a fun fall lunch, I wanted to share.

There really is no recipe here, but this is what I used:
-I cut a full tortilla shell with a witch hat cookie cutter, and layered every other layer with either cheese or meat, also cut out with witch hat cutter.  Then, I placed a pick, a twisted one in this case, in the center to hold it together.  I included dipping sauce for the sandwich, my kids are fans of mustard, which I put inside the green container.
-I used a twisted cheese stick to make the bottom of the broom and a twisted pretzel for the broom top.  I used the remaining cheese stick to cut into small circles, then I cut the circles into triangles leaving the orange on the bottom to resemble a candy corn.
-The pumpkin is a hostess sno-ball (curious to see if my kids even it) but it looked cute right?!  Black frosting for the face.
-The monster is just a 1/4 apple, and the top and mouth were carved out with sprinkle eyes.  There are also banana slices underneath.
-The bone picks were put into cherry tomatoes and I diced up an orange bell pepper as well.

ENJOY!
