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!

Kate - Gluten Free Alchemist says
LOVE these Emily. They are such fun! Not sure they would hold together quite so well with gluten free bread, but I’d definitely give them a go x
Emily Leary says
Yes not the seeded type for sure as that seems to break up quite a bit, doesn’t it? Ooh maybe brown GF bread and toasted?
Laura Dove says
Ahh this is super cute and perfect for little ones. My kids would adore this for their birthday parties too!
Emily Leary says
Yay! I hope you get a chance to make them soon.
