Print Recipe

A quick and festive snack board that combines sweet candy corn, savory cheeses and meats, and fresh fruit for a visually stunning Halloween spread that comes together in 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 cups candy corn
  • Ghost-shaped marshmallows (or regular marshmallows)
  • Chocolate-covered pretzels
  • Orange and black jelly beans
  • Clementines or small mandarins
  • Sharp cheddar cheese (cut into cubes)
  • Gouda or smoked cheese (sliced into wedges)
  • Pepperoni or salami
  • Whole wheat or seed crackers
  • Pretzel sticks
  • Green grapes
  • Blackberries or blueberries
  • Apple slices (tossed in lemon juice)
  • Pumpkin seeds (pepitas) (optional)
  • Dark chocolate squares (optional)
  • Dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place small bowls or ramekins on the board: one for candy corn, one for jelly beans, one for marshmallows.
  2. Cut cheddar into 1-inch cubes and arrange near center-left. Slice gouda into thin wedges and fan out next to cheddar.
  3. Fold pepperoni slices in half twice to make quarter-circles; stack near cheese. Roll salami slices into tubes and arrange like logs.
  4. Arrange crackers in small clusters around cheese and meat. Place pretzel sticks in a small bundle near the edge.
  5. Tuck small clusters of green grapes into gaps. Place clementines whole near corners. Scatter blackberries or blueberries in small groups.
  6. Fill small bowls with candy corn, jelly beans, and marshmallows. Arrange chocolate-covered pretzels in a small pile. Scatter extra candy corns around board.
  7. Step back and fill any empty spots with extra grapes, crackers, or pumpkin seeds. Avoid placing candy corn next to moist fruit.

Notes

Take cheese out of fridge 20 minutes before assembling for best flavor. Keep moist items like fruit separated from candy corn to prevent stickiness. Prep ingredients the night before for faster assembly.
