How to build an adorable and delicious Pumpkin Snack Board for a Halloween or fall party that is sure to WOW your crowd!

A Jack of All Treats

If you know me or have been following me on Instagram, you know I’m obsessed with boards. Whether is be a weeknight brinner board or a festive holiday board like this pumpkin snack board, I’m always thinking of ways to serve our meals/snacks on a board. I love building them and my family and friends love eating off of them. So much fun and yum! This Pumpkin Snack Board was such a huge hit that I just have to share all the details on how I built it so you can build one too for your family and friends this fall! There’s no tricks to building this treat of a Jack-O-Lantern (such a yummy break from all the Halloween candy).

How to Make a Pumpkin Snack Board

I used my 20-inch round Mango Wood Board from Sur La Table and it worked so perfectly for the pumpkin shape and amount of snacks I wanted to serve.

I used these candy corn shaped cookie cutters as place holders for the eyes and nose or you could use these or you could use any triangular cookie cutters. I placed the cookie cutters down first, filled them with the black foods and then surrounded them with the orange foods before carefully pulling the cookie cutters up to leave the black foods in the triangular shape. Worked like a charm!

For the mouth, I shaped black concord grapes into a smile. So darn cute!

I got almost all of the goodies at Trader Joe’s except the Cheez-its, veggie straws and cheese puffs, but Trader Joe’s sells very similar items that you could use in place of these if you want to get everything from there. I just had these on hand, so I used them.

I had the boys help me pick the orange veggie straws out of the bag of multi-colored ones and the orange candy corn popcorn out of the bag of candy corn popcorn as well as help me peel the clementines. They loved helping!

So I filled in all the black foods first and then started in the middle with the cheese slices and worked my way out with lines of the orange foods around the black foods. I just packed the foods tightly around the edges and they held in place just great as I transferred the board to the table to serve. Just one of the pretzels fell into my hand as I was carrying it so I put it back in its place and we dug in!

Watch for More

Building this Pumpkin Snack Board is just as fun as it is enjoying it!

I wish I would have captured the kids’ faces as we were digging in, but I was too excited to dig in myself. Such a fun and yummy snack board. We all loved it!
