Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups candy corn
- 1 cup miniature peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
- 1 cup orange and black M&Ms (Halloween mix)
- 1 cup pretzel sticks
- 1 cup white chocolate covered pretzels
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles (orange, black, white)
- 1/2 cup roasted and salted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel popcorn
- 1 cup fresh orange slices (optional)
Instructions
- Place your large serving board on a flat surface. If using parchment paper, cut it to fit the board roughly.
- Arrange 3 to 4 small ramekins or bowls in a triangle or zigzag pattern across the board. Fill one with candy corn, one with M&Ms, and one with pumpkin seeds.
- Around your bowls, start placing the bigger pieces—peanut butter cups, white chocolate pretzels, and caramel popcorn. Group them in clusters.
- Use pretzel sticks, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips to fill any empty spaces between clusters.
- Scatter mini marshmallows in small piles around the board.
- Take handfuls of candy corn and sprinkle them in sweeping lines across the board.
- Sprinkle Halloween sprinkles over the white chocolate pretzels and marshmallows. Arrange fresh orange slices on one edge of the board.
- Step back and look at your board. Fill any bare spots larger than a silver dollar with pretzel sticks or chocolate chips. Adjust balance if needed.
- Serve immediately with small plates or napkins. The board stays fresh for about 2 hours at room temperature.
Notes
Candy corn gets soft and tacky in warm environments. If serving outdoors or in a warm room, keep candy corn in a separate bowl and add just before serving. For nut allergies, replace peanut butter cups with sunflower seed butter cups and skip pumpkin seeds. The board tastes better after about an hour as flavors mingle.
