This Sweet and Salty Halloween Snack Board for Kids compliments my healthy Halloween snack board. Snack boards are fantastic for any type of party or holiday and while we love healthy snacks, it is Halloween after all!
I use a mixture of sweet snacks, candy, and salty snack foods in traditional Halloween colors of orange, yellow, white and black. It's easy to put together in about 20 minutes and involves no cooking - my favorite part!
Let the kids help pick out and arrange the foods to get them involved and make it a family fun event. My kids love helping to decorate our zombie cupcakes and dark unicorn cupcakes. They get a kick out of helping wrap up our mummy hot dogs too!
Supplies Needed
You'll need a charcuterie board and a few small bowls to arrange the ingredients. This board is one of my favorite circular boards. I love that it has handles for easy carrying. If you'd like a rectangular snack board, this one here is a great option. But you can also use a large wooden cutting board if you don't have time to go shopping or if you're on a really tight budget.
Ingredients
Make your Halloween snack board with your preferred candies and snacks in festive colors. You can't do it wrong! Here are some suggestions:
- Orange: candy corn, candy pumpkins, Reese's pieces, cheddar popcorn, cheez-its, Fritos, Cheetos, goldfish, pumpkin spice yogurt-covered pretzels. You can also add these mummy hot dogs for a festive flair.
- Yellow/beige: crackers, popcorn, caramel candies and these candy corn cupcakes.
- White: white cheddar popcorn, tortilla chips and dip, mini marshmallows
- Black: Oreo cookies, chocolate bar pieces, black licorice or these graveyard brownies.
- Green: gummy worms, apples and caramel dip.
Kristina's Tips
- If small children who can choke easily on certain foods will enjoy your snack board, watch out for choking hazard foods like grapes or anything hard to chew.
- Consider a nut-free snack board if you're serving to guests and you don't know if someone has an allergy.
- If you're serving your snack board outside, consider leaving out items that can easily melt if you live in a hotter climate or foods that quickly attract flies and ants.
How To Arrange A Snack Board
- Arrange the bowls on opposite corners of the charcuterie tray and fill them with the smaller foods, such as mini marshmallows and candies.
- Arrange the other ingredients around the board, with different color foods in opposite locations around the board.
- Fill in any gaps with extra foods or candy pieces.
