Ingredients
Scale
8 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of shredded carrots
1/2 cup of sliced cucumber
1/2 cup of black olives, sliced
1/2 cup of bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 tablespoon of food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Lay out your bread slices on a clean surface.
In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Add food coloring if desired for spooky colors.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of each bread slice.
On half of the bread slices, layer ham or turkey, followed by shredded carrots and cucumber slices.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, spread side down.
Use black olives to create eyes and mouths on each sandwich face. Cut bell pepper into shapes for other features.
Cut the sandwiches into quarters or triangles. Arrange on a platter. Garnish with parsley if using.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best taste and appearance.
Encourage creativity by letting guests design their own ghoul faces.
Be aware of any guest allergies or dietary restrictions.
Consider setting up a sandwich-making station for interactive fun.
For a vegetarian option, use spinach, sprouts, or grilled zucchini instead of meat.
Try different bread types like whole grain, rye, or gluten-free.
For a sweet version, use nut butter and fruits like bananas and strawberries.
These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
To freeze, assemble sandwiches without toppings, wrap tightly, and store for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
