Boo yah!
No tricks just treats on this lil Halloween snack board.

Snack boards are one of my things to make for the kiddos and this frightful feast was a major hit with Grant and Gigi. Plus it was super easy for Mummy to put together.

I got all of my supplies at the grocery store and Trader Joe’s snagging snacks that the kids love and that are mostly healthy! I’ve seen Halloween boards before with candy which are super cute but not exactly great for the kiddos. My fav are the Mummy hot dogs (simply wrapped in a mini crescent roll) and the eyeballs are just little sugar eyes I found in the baking section. You can also order em here. For the string cheese ghosts I just used a marker to draw on the eyes.

While the kids were at school I created this masterpiece and surprised them with it when they got home. It was perfect because the ate off of it for lunch and then snacked off the board all day long.

If you’re throwing a party this treat can feed lots of boys and ghouls this Halloween season!

The perfect board requires only a few fun accessories. Here are some of my favs!

While the little ones are munching on their Halloween snack board, Mama needs a treat too. (Read add vino!) How ‘bout making a Fall inspired cheese board perfect for date night, girls night in or a snack while ya binge The Maid on Netflix! Who has watched that one? So good!

This lil cutie is a board I made last year for Thanksgiving and it’s always been one of my favorites. Those beautiful Fall colors…persimmons, olives and blackberries are almost too beautiful to eat. Almost! I set this board out ahead of our big Thanksgiving meal and it provided the perfect amount of snacks without making us too full.

The key to creating the perfect Autumnal board is to grab a variety of orange goodies like cheddar cheese, carrots, and dried apricots. Mix in some darker items like salami and smoked almonds and you're on your way to you're very own festive board. Oh and don't forget to add a decorative element…a mini pumpkin, a few flowers or a sprig of thyme or rosemary for good measure!
