I made this for a Halloween-themed October bento. I looked at a lot of Halloween pictures and wanted to try to make something special.
Everyone wants a sausage in their bento, and these guys are pretty easy to make.

If the sausages are a little warm, the cheese will melt in nicely. The cheese breaks easily when taken right out of the fridge, so let it sit first for 2-3 minutes. Wrap a little over the eyes. There's no need to make them super neat (they're mummies, after all!). Recipe by Sasabon mama.

Steps

1

Boil the sausages just until they're hot and cooked through. Then, set aside to cool.
2

Cut the cheese into 3-4 mm wide strips. For the eyes, cut the cheese into round circles, and use a craft punch to make the pupils out of nori. Stick the eyes on the sausage (in between the cheese slices).

While the sausages are still a little warm, affix the eyes and wrap with sliced cheese.

Here's a cute bento with a simmered pumpkin jack-o-lantern:
5

I tucked the mummies into hot dogs with ketchup and mayonnaise for extra flavor. My kids seemed quite happy biting into these.

Here's a pizza arrangement. It's easy when the cheese is wrapped around just half a sausage. On the sides of the pizza are ghosts made of hanpen (steamed fish purée).

Here they are at a Halloween party! All the kids were pretty pleased with them.
