16 googly eyes
16 gold confetti rounds
16 toothpicks
Glue
1 packet ginger biscuits (optional, for “sand”)

Croissant Crabs

8 Sea Harvest Fish Fingers
8 mini croissants
¼ C (60 ml) mayonnaise
2 Tbsp (30 ml) tomato sauce
50 g curly lettuce

Treasure Boxes

200 g cheddar cheese, cubed
100 g red grapes, rinsed
100 g white grapes, rinsed
12 gold coins (edible wrapped chocolate)
4 carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
100 g strawberries, rinsed
3 x 40 g bags fish-shaped pretzels

Preparation & Cooking

Start by getting kids to decorate the lunch boxes with stickers or coloured paper to resemble treasure chests.

Croissant Crabs

Bake the frozen fish fingers at 200 ºC for 15–18 minutes until golden and crunchy, or cook in an air fryer for the recommended time.
Meanwhile, if making “sand”, blitz ginger biscuits to fine crumbs.
Slice open the croissants without cutting through. Mix the mayonnaise and tomato sauce to make pink sauce, then spread inside; add lettuce and one fish finger to each mini croissant. Insert two toothpicks with googly eyes attached to create “crabs”.

To Assemble Treasure Boxes

Divide the grapes, cheese, carrots, strawberries, pretzels, and gold coins equally into the boxes. Add a croissant crab to each.
Serve on a bed of biscuit “sand” if desired.
