These adorable peanut butter and jelly ghost sandwiches will make breakfast a spooky time this Halloween.

When it’s time for Halloween to roll around, it’s hard to get kids to sit still for any meal. Turn the season to your advantage with this cute Halloween recipe.

Transform an ordinary sandwich into a Halloween work of art that your child will love to eat.

All you need to make this PB & J sandwich are a few supplies that we all have on hand.

If you want to dress up like a ghost yourself check out this tutorial in our list of easy Halloween costumes for adults. There’s also a kids version if your little one wants to wear a spooky ghost costume this year.

Your child will love this peanut butter and jelly ghost sandwich!

Ghosts are a symbol of Halloween, so they would be perfect to pack in your little one’s lunch boxes this time of the year. 

Fist, gather your ingredients:

• two slices of bread (white bread makes a whiter ghost, but I like to use whole wheat for its healthy aspects and have the ghost shape be the attraction for the child)
• peanut butter
• your favorite flavor of jelly
• 3 raisins
• ghost shape cookie cutter

If you don’t have a ghost cookie cutter, use a pair of scissors and this ghost shape template. You can cut a shape free hand if you have a steady hand.

Just make your sandwich, use a pair of scissors to cut off the crusts and decorate the face with raisins for eyes and a nose. So cute!
