Mini Sausage Cutters

I received my box of goodies from the Bento Bloggers  & Friends Treasure Hunt which you can read about here and was itching to try out some of my new toys tools.

I normally keep some cheerios in the freezer for the days I feel lazy or there's not leftovers from dinner for Miss M's lunch. I normally make them into Octo-Dogs (tutorial in the works) but I've been eyeing off these little sausage/hot dog cutters since I first saw them - how quick & simple to cute-ify a cheerio?

But I didn't realise our cheerios are a little big

 This is my first attempt

 Straight out of the mould. . . .

 I figured out to cut the cheerios in half which made a difference, but they are a little tatty with the skins

 When I make Octo-dogs for Miss M I normally don't bother cooking them, but the instructions (well, I followed the pictures as I don't read Japanese) said to fry, so I did.

I left one of each raw as a comparison and  you can definitely see the difference with the cuts opening up in the cooked version.

I think I prefer the bunny to the turtle, but I'm sure they will both be popular additions to Miss M's lunchbox and I love how quick & easy they are.
