Instructions

  1. Choose a large wooden board, tray, or platter.
  2. Decide on layout: half sweet/half savory, or mix in themed clusters.
  3. Place larger items first: cheeses, meats, cookies, or a mini pumpkin centerpiece.
  4. Fill gaps with smaller snacks like olives, candy corn, nuts, and veggies. Group by color for visual appeal.
  5. Cut cheeses or deli meats into spooky shapes with cookie cutters.
  6. Add finishing touches: gummy worms, candy eyes, or themed props for creepiness.
  7. Serve with toothpicks or tongs for easy grabbing.

Notes

  • Make an all-sweet board with cookies, candies, chocolates, and caramel popcorn.
  • Create a savory board with meats, cheeses, and dark-toned foods like blackberries and blue cheese.
  • For kids, add grapes, apple slices, string cheese, and mild meats.
  • Make it vegan with hummus, veggies, fruits, nuts, and dairy-free cheese and chocolates.
  • Prep 1–2 hours ahead, but add crackers just before serving so they stay crisp.
