Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of baby carrots, 1 cup of grape tomatoes, 1 cup of pretzel sticks, 1 cup of cheese cubes, and 1 cup of assorted candies. Make sure you have a large serving board or platter ready for assembly.
- Wash the baby carrots and grape tomatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Next, arrange the baby carrots on one section of the serving board. You can place them in a row or cluster them together for a more playful look.
- In another section of the board, place the grape tomatoes. You can leave them whole for a pop of color or slice them in half if you prefer. This adds a fun touch and makes them easier to eat.
- Now, take the pretzel sticks and create a fun zig-zag pattern or pile them up in a small bowl to add height to your snack board. This will add texture and crunch to the mix.
- Next, arrange the cheese cubes in a separate section of the board. You can use a mix of different cheeses for variety, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack. Feel free to cut the cheese into fun shapes using cookie cutters to make it more festive.
- Finally, fill in the remaining space on the board with assorted candies. Use a mix of Halloween-themed treats like gummy worms, candy corn, or chocolate pumpkins. Scatter them around to create a colorful and inviting display.
- Once everything is arranged, step back and admire your creation! You can add some Halloween-themed decorations like small plastic spiders or pumpkins around the board for an extra festive touch.
- Serve the Fun Kid Halloween Snack Board immediately and enjoy the smiles as kids dig into this colorful and delightful assortment of snacks!
