A festive Purim lunchbox - fit for little queens and little kings

 

Oh hi little "No Bake” Hamantaschen! Guess what? You’re the star of our Purim themed lunch!

Since they’re as easy to make as a peanut butter sandwich, I thought they would be fun and festive packed in a lunchbox, and the results were adorable and delicious!

Our cute lunchbox features thee hamantaschen - one filled with peanut butter and topped with a dried blueberry and two Nutella filled - one topped with a banana chip and another with rainbow sprinkles (must have sprinkles for dessert - hehe)!

To continue our theme, I included a royal jewelled sapphire and ruby fruit kabob (the plumpest and sweetest blueberries and raspberries)! We made a second lunch box that had a little cup of Mordecai Munchies (a mixture of granola and dried fruit).

One extra-special touch to include in your lunchbox - a sweet note. I loved writing notes for my daughters, and I know it made them feel warm and happy too!
