Method
 

Assembly Steps
  1. Add 2-3 small bowls to your board. Fill them with loose items like popcorn, candy, or gummy frogs to create anchor points and structure for the rest of your snacks.
  2. Place your largest items, such as the chocolate frosted donuts or cookie packages, in opposite corners or distinct areas of the board to establish key zones.
  3. Incorporate themed items, like the swirl lollipops or cat sugar cookies, in various locations on the board to add visual interest and a festive touch.
  4. Strategically place items to break up large blocks of the same color with contrasting colors. This creates a more dynamic and visually appealing presentation.
  5. For square or rectangular items like brownie bark or chocolate squares, arrange them in a slightly curved or zigzag fashion to make them fit better and add flow to the board.
  6. Use smaller items such as individual candies (Sixlets, M&Ms, jelly beans), rock candy, or grapes to fill in any remaining gaps. The goal is to cover the entire board for a cohesive and abundant look.
  7. Serve your Halloween treat board with small plates and serving tongs or scoops on the side, allowing guests to easily pick their favorite snacks to enjoy.
