Food in fun shapes has always been a hit with my kids, and animal-shaped food is particularly popular with my crew.

These cute owl snacks are so easy to make with delicious Special Edition Farm Rich Pimento Cheese Bites, which make putting a delicious snack on the table possible in just a matter of minutes. Continue reading for all the details for how to make this cute owl snack for kids and to grab the free printable recipe.

I’ve partnered with Farm Rich to bring this fun idea to you. All opinions are entirely my own.Easy Owl Kids' Snack Idea Fun Owl Snack for Kids

Owl Kids’ Snack Ingredients


  • 2 Farm Rich Pimento Cheese Bites
  • 3 slices Monterey Jack cheese 
  • 2 mini bell peppers (red and orange)
  • 1 baby carrot
  • 1 cucumber slice
  • 2 sliced black olives

Tools: Paring knife, small circle cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, large piping tip

Owl Kids Snack Ingredients

Owl Snack Prep


  • Use the piping tip to cut two small half circles from one of the cheese slices. Using the same tip, press the tip down just below the curved edge of each piece to form two crescent shapes, as seen below.
  • Use the cookie or biscuit cutter to trim two larger half circle pieces from the two remaining cheese slices.
  • Use a paring knife to slice a thin ring from each of the peppers. Cut each of the ring pieces in half.
  • With the paring knife, trim the baby carrot in half. Reserve one half for the owl beak. Slice the remaining piece in half lengthwise, and then cut two triangle notches from the bottom of each half to form owl feet, as seen below.

Owl Kids Snack Instructions

Bake the Pimento Cheese Bites according to the product package instructions. You will need two of the bites per owl, but trust me: you will probably want to sample one or two as you make the owl snack for your kids, because they are so yummy! The Special Edition Farm Rich Pimento Cheese Bites are made with South Carolina’s popular Palmetto Cheese, making them authentically Southern and totally delicious. Packed with real cheddar cheese and ripe pimentos and coated in a crisp, golden breading, the Pimento Cheese Bites come with a red pepper jelly dipping sauce. I purchased mine at my local Walmart, but Farm Rich has a handy product locator on their site to make finding their products near you a snap!

For busy parents, it’s so great to have kids’ snack options that can be made in just minutes but that you can feel good about serving. Farm Rich really is dedicated to making products that fit into the hustle and bustle of the happy chaos that comes with raising kids! The

Owl Snack Assembly


  • Place two of the cooked Pimento Cheese Bites side by side on a plate. 
  • Center a cucumber slice under the Pimento Cheese Bites, and then place the carrot beak on top of the cucumber slice, nestling it between the bites.
  • Arrange the large half-circle cheese slices on either side of the cucumber, and then place the carrot feet along the bottom edge of the cucumber.
  • Finish by adding a crescent cheese slice and an olive slice on top of each of the Pimento Cheese Bites for the owl’s eyes, and then add some bell pepper feathers above the eyes.
