So use cookie cutters and make variety of different shapes instead of just triangular or rectangular sandwich. How about heart shaped sandwich for Valentines Day, pumpkin shapes for Halloween, gingerbread man sandwich for Christmas?
    3. Different Nut Butters : Seed butter, sun-butter which is sunflower seed butter, cashew butter, Almond butter or Nutella can be used instead of classic peanut butter.
