How to make Halloween sandwiches

Make butter mixture

Put the butter, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, and herbs in a mixing bowl. Also add the salt and pepper.

Mix until evenly mixed. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer.

Chill

Once mixed together, put the mixture in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for 10 minutes.

Then, take a knife and evenly spread the butter mixture over the bread. Only put it on one slice of bread.

Assemble

Then, add the turkey and the other slices of bread. Place the white cheddar cheese on top of the sandwich.

Dot the cheese gently with black gel icing to create the eyes. Then, cut the sandwich with a ghost cookie cutter.

Tips for recipe success

• Try out different shapes - Try out different cookie cutter shapes for fun Halloween shapes. For example, use cheddar cheese and make pumpkin sandwiches!
