Easy Crab Ham and Cheese Sandwiches for Kids Party. These buttery croissants make the most adorable crustacean for a family dinner or create a tasty party recipe perfect for a beach tablescape.

Crab Sandwiches for Kids Party

So no Beach Parties here but I love to have fun with my sandwiches for the kids, especially the younger kids. It makes dinner fun and also encourages them to eat more. You know, a win-win. One item that I always have on hand in my home, are Candy Eyes. They have so many resourceful uses. We have made endless recipes with them. Sometimes my kids just add them to break and bake cookies. Grab a few. They are cheapest on Amazon.

Perhaps you are making more than just your family’s dinner. If hosting your own celebration, we suggest pairing these sandwiches with our crab cupcakes!  And for more inspiring ideas, see all of our Beach Inspired Party Ideas.

This recipe has your classic ingredients – ham and cheese. We bought pre-made croissants. I suggest getting the jumbo kind. You will need candy eyes and toothpicks and a creative item to stick the eyes. We used mustard but gave you a few other options.

Crab Ham and Cheese Sandwiches Supplies:

  • Croissants
  • Ham
  • Cheese

Ingredients

  • Croissants
  • Ham
  • Cheese
  • Mustard
  • Candy Eyes
  • Tooth Picks
  • Optional: Fondant, peanut butter, honey or white chocolate melts

Instructions

Start by prepping your eyes.  Take two candy eyes and place a dot of mustard on the backs.

Lay toothpicks on the mustard and allow to dry and stick some.*

Slice your croissants to almost the opposite end, but stop slicing so the end of the croissant is still attached.

Add a thin layer of mustard to the bottom layer.

Place your ham & cheese inside the croissant. I like to fold the ham so that you get more than a thin slice when you bite.

If you want melted sandwiches, pre-heat your oven to 350. Lay down parchment paper on a cookie sheet and lay your sandwiches on the tray.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes.

Now take your eye toothpicks and poke two into each ham and cheese croissant sandwich. You will want to place the toothpicks at an angle so your candy eyes are are laying back.  Less chance of the candy eyes moving!

Serve & enjoy!

*Candy Eye Hack: Other options for getting your eyes to stock to the toothpicks are peanut butter, honey, fondant or melted white chocolate.
