How to Make a Halloween Snack Board

Step 3: On each end of the board, stack a few of the bat and ghost cookies. Add the extra Oreos and Nutter Butters.

Step 5: Finally, add a ghost peep to each of the M&M bowls (or scatter them around the board if you like). Now your Halloween board is ready to serve!
Tips & Tricks
- Feel free to get creative and fill the board however with any other fun candy and spooky decorations you like. Add candy eyeballs, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pumpkins, or Halloween Oreos.
- Add some fresh fruits and veggies for a healthier option or add cheese but use cookie cutters to cut the cheese into fun shapes. This will give your guests a good variety of options to choose from.
- Go in the other direction and add a sweet dessert dip. Pumpkin fluff or Oreo Fluff would both be great choices. You could also make this chocolate dessert dip but swap out the Christmas colors with fun Halloween colors instead.
- Wrapped Halloween candy like Reese’s cups and mini candy bars will work great on this board too. You can also add in some chocolate covered raisins or nuts or add a savory snack like pretzels.
More Fun Ideas
- Oreo Spiders – Make spiders by pushing 4 mini pretzel sticks into each side of a Double Stuff Oreo cookie and adding candy eyes to the top.
- Pretzel Ghosts – Everybody loves sweet and salty snacks chocolate covered pretzels. Make ghosts by dipping pretzel rods into white chocolate and use mini chocolate chips or candy eyes to make the ghost “face”.
- Spider Web Cookies – Use melted white chocolate to “draw” spider webs on store bought or homemade cookies. You could even add plastic spiders to decorate them.
What Can I Use for My Board Base?
We used a large wooden cutting board, but you could also use a marble slab or a large serving platter or tray. Anything that works for a traditional cheese board will work for this too.
What Do I Need for Serving?
Plastic cocktail plates work well, and you can put out some small bowls or ramekins for holding the smaller candy pieces. It’s also a good idea include a few sets of small tongs.
