Creative Use of Colors
Don’t shy away from using food coloring to enhance the spooky theme. From eerie purples to ghastly greens, a splash of color can transform any sandwich into a Halloween masterpiece.
Incorporate Fun Shapes
Use cookie cutters to cut bread and fillings into fun, spooky shapes like ghosts, bats, or pumpkins. This not only makes the sandwiches more appealing but also adds an extra element of Halloween fun.

Balance is key to a great sandwich. Ensure you have a good mixture of textures — a bit of crunch, something creamy, and a touch of chewiness can make every bite interesting and delicious.
