Halloween Appetizer Snack Board
If there’s one thing I love more than dressing up for Halloween, it’s dressing up my food for Halloween. And when I throw a Halloween party, I love to pull out all the stops with a full assortment of holiday-themed appetizers.
Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be hard to do. You can put together a fantastic Halloween Appetizer Snack Board with three kinds of foods:
- Store-bought Halloween treats like candy, ghostly Halloween veggie chips, and smiling Jack-o-lantern pretzels.
- Regular party fare dressed up for the holiday. You can toss candy corn and candy pumpkins into your Chex mix, use a Halloween cookie cutter on your cheese slices, and deck out a bowl of hummus with a couple of black olive “spiders.”
- Just a few special Halloween treats that you can make ahead of time. Like a sweet mini version of my pumpkin-shaped Fall Cheese Ball, some white-chocolate-dipped strawberry “ghosts,” and a small batch of my Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip served up in a mini pumpkin.
