Bite-sized recipes/ideas for a bento box

    I have a small bento box I want to use to start bringing things to work in. It's really small and has two compartments, one of which can be closed with another lid (handy for hummus/sauces or rice, etc). I've been thinking about small snacky things I could take to work in it, and would appreciate any more suggestions.

    So far, I have:
    Bread sticks + hummus
    Fresh raw veg (carrot/celery) + hummus
    Cherry tomatoes
    Salad
    Fruit - Grapes, cherries, etc

    egg and veg muffins (like mini fritatta)
    couscous
    mini mozzarella balls / slices cheese
    cold meats / cold chicken breast
    petit filous / yoghurt with maple syrup
    Crispy fried bacon (you can buy it in m&s and is yummm)
    falafels
    scone
    jelly with fruit in it (make it in a silicone muffin cup)
    Prawns / smoked mackerel / smoked salmon



    I think i have the same lunch box as you and these are the type of things I put in.
