PlanetBox lunch - snowman sammy

I actually hate the slang/nickname/abbreviation of "sammy" for sandwich, but it just seemed to fit here. Forgive me. ;-)



In this wintry themed lunch we have:
- snowman sandwich
- Goldfish holiday mix
- cucumber pine trees
- clementine orange pieces and Honeycrisp apple chunks
- dry roasted edamame (because the snowman already had enough treats on it!)

To say Paige was thrilled with her snowman would be an understatement. :)


The "body" of the snowman was made with just a plain little circle cookie cutter. I had planned to use an actual snowman shaped cutter, but I couldn't find it! The face is made with icing eyes, a candy corn (I looked through the bag to find one missing the white tip!), and a fruit leather smile. The buttons on the snowman are from a candy bracelet and the scarf is a strip of sour candy. I tried to fringe the ends, but I don't think you can really tell. All this candy is leftover from Halloween. I don't toss it out until after we are done decorating our gingerbread house(s) and gingerbread men. So that scarf candy was a bit on the stale side and not very pliable. It didn't want to lay down flat, so I stuck a little bow bento pick in it to hold it down. The hat is from the same pack of winter hat cupcake picks I used on the snowman egg fellow (purchased from an online baking supply store), I just stuck it into the middle of the sandwich. The rest of the candy pieces are "glued" on with tiny dabs of peanut butter. :) Oh! I almost forgot - the stick arms are almond-chocolate Pocky! Yum!

This lunch is packed in a PlanetBox. I hear they are having a sale on the green lunchbag sets and just added some new magnet designs. Cool beans! Will there be any shiny PlanetBoxes under the Christmas tree this year? Or bento picks and other bento goodness filling Christmas stockings? :)
