Christmas Holiday Season Fun Foods for Families Giveaways Halloween Lunch box school lunch ideas Uncategorized

I am a compensated brand ambassador for J.M. Smucker. All opinions are our own.

JIF Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread Recipes (2)Halloween is coming and this time I year I enjoy having a little extra fun with meals. Why not treat your children by creating something spooky and spectacular! With our girls being in school now I’ve taken the lunch box seriously this year and am trying to create even more fun memories with lunch.

Jif Creamy Hazelnut Spreads are a great way to sneak in some fun into the lunch box. The newest flavor offering is the Jif Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread. It’s rich and creamy and it’s going to transform your child’s lunch box!! To have a little fun we created a salted caramel and white chocolate pudding with a banana and Jif Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread sandwich. There’s also some yellow cauliflower, grape tomatoes and cucumber and olive eyeballs.

JIF Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread Recipes (3)Our girls started by making a box white chocolate pudding. It’s simple enough for kids and gets them learning to measure and stir on their own.  Our girls enjoy cooking in the kitchen and it’s something fun for us to do together.

After we made the pudding we blended it with a 1/4 cup of Jif Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread. JIF Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread Recipes (4)

The cucumber and olive eyeballs are also one of my favorite things to make. Cut cucumber, create a small hole with a spoon. Add cream cheese and push in an olive. I stuffed the olives myself with red pimentos. JIF Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread Recipes (5)To make a spooky sandwich I simply used the Jif Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread and banana. My girls love bananas and  they make the perfect topping to the sandwich. JIF Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread Recipes (6)

A simple lunch box addition is a simple piece of paper. It can add a lot of color and really makes the lunch fun and exciting. We serves the Salted Caramel and White Chocolate Pudding along side and topped it with fun Halloween sprinkles. Your kids will love you for a spooky lunch like this!!JIF Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread RecipesJIF Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread Recipes (8)
