Halloween is still a few weeks away and everyone is already deciding what their costume will be and what they'll serve at the party.
Whether the party is for adults or children these fun little appetizer sandwiches are sure to please all your guests. They are also great to serve little ones just before they head out for a night of trick-or-treating.
For some fun, gather the ingredients and have the kids show off their artistic skills by cutting faces or designs into the dough and assembling the sandwiches for baking. Always be sure to supervise children when they're using sharp knives.
You could even give a small prize or treat to the person whose sandwiches are the most original, funniest looking or scariest. Just have fun with it.
To make the designs, place the cut-out dough on a cutting board and use the tip of a sharp Bird's Beak Paring Knife or 2-3/4" Paring Knife for cutting the designs in the dough.
