Scary Halloween Lunch

Frankenstein peanut butter and jelly sandwich, witch's fingers, marshmallow ghost and oreo spider. I used Frankenstein cookie cutter on bread to make the face. Nose and forehead wrinkle were molded from separate pieces of bread and glued to the face using cream cheese. The face was painted green with three drops of food coloring diluted in a tbsp of milk. I used marshmallow to make white portion of the eyes and used black icing (in tube) to make mouth, hair.
Witch's fingers are string cheese with red food coloring for nails. Spider is oreo cookies with pretzel stick legs. I used cream cheese to glue pretzel sticks to the cookie.
