Playing card sandwiches for a tea party

These wicked sandwiches are great fun as they’re decorated like playing cards. Best served as part of a Mad Hatter themed tea party, packed lunch or picnic spread!

Jam and chocolate spread on fluffy, soft white bread is always a winning treat, right?

I created these playing card sandwiches as part of a new series of food on the go.

Here’s how to make them.

Ingredients

• 8 slices of bread
• 4 tbsp strawberry jam
• 4 tbsp chocolate spread

Instructions

Place all of the slices on top of each other.

Use a sharp knife to trim off the crusts.

Spread two slices of bread with strawberry jam and two more slices of bread with chocolate.

Use the cookie cutters, scissors or a sharp knife to cut a little suit shape out of each corner.

Sandwich the slices together to create playing card sandwiches and enjoy!
