    Looking for easy Halloween sandwiches? These spooky sandwiches are easy to make with only three ingredients. I use pimento cheese for the filling in these Halloween themed sandwiches because I've found creamy filling helps the sandwiches stay together better, but you could use whatever sandwich filling you like!

    I use pimento cheese for the filling which you can make homemade or use store bought to save some time. You could use whatever filling you like but I find a creamy one works best to keep these finger sandwiches in tact. 

    Some alternative fillings could be:

    • Chicken Salad
    • Egg Salad
    • Veggie Cream Cheese Spread

    Ingredients

    All you need to create these are a loaf of extra thin sliced bread, black olives, and pimento cheese.

    • Thin Sandwich Bread - I like using the thin sliced bread for that classic finger sandwich look, but you could use regular sandwich bread if you like.
    • Olives - Make sure to get halved olives, or whole ones to cut in half, because these will be the finger nails of the finger sandwiches.
    • Pimento Cheese - Here's my go to pimento cheese recipe, but I love a good store bought version as well!

    Instructions

    Now for the assembly of these creepy finger sandwiches. Start by laying out all your bread, then slather on your favorite pimento cheese spread. Here's a recipe for homemade pimento cheese if you prefer to make your own.

    Slice each sandwich into thirds or fourths and press your thumb into one side of the bread to make a spot where to place the olive halves. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to a few hours.

    Smash one end of the sandwich for the olive using your finger

    I would not recommend making these too far in advance because the bread will become soggy.

    Description

    Looking for easy Halloween sandwiches? These spooky sandwiches are easy to make with only three ingredients.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 loaf extra thin sliced bread
    • 1 container pimento cheese (or my Homemade Pimento Cheese)
    • 1 jar Kalamata olive halves

    Instructions

    1. Lay out the bread, and slather of of the slices with pimento cheese.
    2. Place the dry slices on top of the pimento cheese slices to make little sandwiches.
    3. Cut each sandwich into four equal pieces.
    4. Use your thumb to make an indention at the end of each piece of bread.
    5. Place an olive half on the smashed part of the bread.

    Notes

    • You can make these a few hours ahead, but they do start to get soggy if made too far in advance
    • You can use other fillings besides pimento cheese, but I would recommend something creamy that will keep them from falling apart.
