FAQ – Creepy Cucumber Sandwiches

❓Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Decorate just before serving to keep cucumbers crisp.

❓Can I use other spreads?
Absolutely! Hummus, guacamole, or flavored cream cheese work great.

❓Can I make them vegan?
Yes! Use a plant-based cream cheese alternative.

❓Any tips for keeping cucumbers from getting soggy?
Pat the slices dry with paper towels before assembling and avoid over-spreading the filling.

💡 Note:
For an extra spooky touch, try cutting cucumber rounds into larger “eyeball” shapes using a melon baller or cookie cutter.
