Eerily Fun Food Begins

October is here, the neighbors are putting out decorations already, my birthday is around the corner, and that means Halloween is coming! My favorite holiday of the year. I love the costumes, candy, and especially horror films. So my kids of course pick up on this and start requesting Halloween themed lunches, not every lunch of course, but a lot. Today's is a simple sandwich cutter but he loved it, and I also put a spooky twist on some coconut macaroons from Immaculate Baking too.

Bats

In this lunch : In our Easy Lunch Box

• Bats - Ham and Cheese sandwich
• Boarder - carrots
• Eyeball  - New Coconut macaroons from Immaculate Baking, with a candy eye. 
• Black grapes with Bat pick

The pre-made coconut cookie dough made these eyes fast and fun. Each package has 12 pre-cut jumbo cookies, you could flatten them but I had eyes in mind so I left them as is. Once golden brown I pulled them out and pressed a candy eye into each one before it cooled completely. So yummy!

Giving me an Eyeful

Well the eyes have it. My son certainly gave me an eyeful this morning when I came up with four eyes instead of one as per his request before bed. He did love the green eyes though. He still wants one big scary eyeball and I may do it, but another day. :) I don't know why I got all sorty with the fruit loops either, sometimes I go into a daze and just play with the food before boxing it up.

In this lunch :

• Fruit loops
• Peanutbutter and jelly eyes
• Apple eyes with carrot lashes

I really expected to be asked for a lego lunch as we went to Lego Fest this weekend, but nope after watching our first episode of Supernatural he wanted a big scary eyeball.  I did not deliver scary this round so it can stay in the idea jar in my head for later use.
