I was so excited to make these sandwiches.<\/p>\n
I got this panda sandwich kit a few weeks ago, and I hadn’t had time to try until yesterday.<\/p>\n

This is how the whole face looks.<\/p>\n
Isn’t it adorable?!<\/p>\n
These are pretty easy to make, and I was quite surprised at how clearly you can stamp the facial features.<\/p>\n
These are jam sandwiches (lingonberries and tropical fruit), but you can basically add anything that is not too wet.<\/p>\n
Ham and cheese, cheddar cheese and mango chutney, cream cheese and herbs, peanut butter and fruit… possible variations are endless.<\/p>\n

In the other layer of this Bendo box were potato salad and Buffalo cauliflower.<\/p>\n
I usually don’t, but this time I wanted to put in as many vegetables as possible so I added carrots and onions to my potato salad.<\/p>\n
Well, when I think of it, my mom used to add these veggies to her potato salad, too.<\/p>\n

I’ve made Baffallo cauliflower before, but this time I succeeded in making them vegan.<\/p>\n
These are so good that even I would want a glass of beer to wash them down (lol)!<\/p>\n

Panda Sandwich Bento<\/strong><\/p>\n Panda sandwiches (I used this kit<\/a>) With Terry’s suggestion, I toasted some of these Panda sandwiches with cheese inside.<\/p>\n They turned out pretty good as they kept the facial features well, but you do get some brown spots on the face. I do like the toasted crusty bread, but the “burned” spots may make some kids not too happy.<\/p>\n
