Halloween is the unofficial start of the holiday season and it is no stranger to holiday spirit, gatherings and fun! This Haunted Snack Board is a great way to get in the spooky spirit and keep yourself full! Let’s build a board together!
When thinking about snacks, try to choose some that can easily be adjusted to meet the holiday theme. Pumpkins, ghosts, witches, spiders and more are the ideal icons of Halloween and Black, Green, Purple and Orange are fun colors to get you in the spirit! You can pair up foods, like chocolate covered strawberries or pretzel sticks and string cheese (witch’s brooms), or you can get items in certain colors like black or purple tortilla chips. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or add in holiday candy, like candy corn, to enhance your snacking!
For the board itself, you can use anything from a large dish, to a cutting board, to a serving tray. The possibilities really are endless and really just depends on how many you are feeding. For my home I would just use a small plate or bowl, but if we were having friends over I would use a large serving dish. For our snack board we used this over-sized bowl in black and worked in all of our favorite snacking foods!
We designed our board around some of our favorites. We included our mummy hot dogs, dark tortilla chips and guacamole. Cheese cut out into Halloween shapes, grapes, apples and oranges and a little candy. Choose small dishes to hold dips and add in a fun design to make your board festive.
This board is a great way to entertain your family at home and guests at a gathering. It is so flexible with so many ways to make it your own. You can tailor to your own, and your family’s, tastes and just have fun with it! As always, thank you for reading and joining us on this journey. We love learning and growing with you. Simply, Beth
