What’s on This Halloween Snack Board?

Mummy Dogs and Mummy Pigs in a Blanket

Let’s start with the stars of the BOO-cuterie board, Mummy Dogs and Mummy Pigs in a Blanket. Wrapped in crescent dough with little candy eyes, these fun Halloween snacks are perfect for sharing at your Halloween party.

Ingredients:

• Mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
• Crescent roll dough
• Edible googly candy eyeballs
• Ketchup and mustard for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375° F.
2. Roll out the crescent dough, and use a pizza cutter or knife to slice thin strips for bandages.
3. Wrap the dough strips around the hot dogs or sausages, starting at the top and leaving a small gap for the mummy eyes.
4. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
5. Once they’re out of the oven, dab a couple of mustard dots for eyes, or attach edible googly eyes for a spooky touch.

How to Make Your Halloween Snack Board

Putting together a Halloween snack board is easy, and you can mix and match your favorite treats. Here’s how I’d arrange everything for a fun, festive spread.

Step 1: Choose Your Board

Start with a large wooden board, serving platter, or tray. Make sure there’s enough room for your larger snacks and plenty of smaller treats around them.

Step 2: Add the Main Snacks

Place your Mummy Dogs, Mummy Pigs in a Blanket, sandwiches, or other homemade bites on the board first. Spread them out so guests can easily grab what they want.

Step 3: Add Bowls for Dips and Small Treats

Use small bowls for dips, candy corn, pretzels, and other loose snacks. Arrange them around the board to add variety and keep smaller items from rolling around.

Step 4: Fill in the Gaps

Tuck in crackers, cookies, chips, fruit, and Halloween candy to fill any empty spaces. Mixing different shapes, colors, and textures makes the board more interesting.

Step 5: Add the Halloween Touches

Finish with candy eyeballs, Halloween-themed decorations, or a few spooky accents around the board. Keep non-food decorations separate from the snacks, and make sure everything is ready for guests to enjoy!

Tips for Assembling Your Spooky Halloween Snack Board

• Add a few spooky extras: Plastic spiders, candy decorations, skulls, and fake spiderwebs give your board a fun Halloween look. I even found a creepy skeleton hand that looks like it’s reaching for the snacks!
• Arrange the larger items first: Start with the mummy dogs, coffin sandwiches, bat sandwiches, and pumpkin-shaped bread. Once those are in place, tuck the smaller store-bought snacks around them.
• Fill in the gaps: Use candy, Halloween sprinkles, candy eyes, and other bite-sized treats to fill empty spaces. Check the seasonal snack aisle for fun Halloween-themed goodies to add a little variety to your board.

What to Put on Your Halloween Snack Board

Now that you have your Mummy Dogs and Mummy Pigs in a Blanket ready to go, let’s assemble the rest of the spine-chilling BOO-cuterie board. I have so many fun ideas, so grab a large platter or large cutting board and let’s get to work.

Mandarins with Celery Stalks: These little “pumpkins” are easy to make; just insert a small celery stick into the mandarin. Peel the mandarin, then peel a small piece of a celery stalk to fit in the center of the orange. Voilà, instant pumpkin patch!

Pumpkin Bread Cut into Pumpkin Shapes: Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to transform ordinary pumpkin bread into a festive treat. Such a fun way to incorporate the quintessential fall flavor of pumpkin into your festive Halloween board.

Orange Bell Peppers: Bonus points if you slice these into spooky faces or shapes for a healthy and crunchy addition.

Rye Bread Bats with Spinach Dip: Cut rye bread into bat shapes and make sandwiches with delicious spinach-dip filling.

Coffin Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches: Cut sandwiches into coffin shapes and watch them disappear. I used pumpkin spread for my jelly, but feel free to use your favorite spread.

Halloween M&Ms: Add small bowls of these colorful, spooky M&Ms to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Caramel Corn: A sweet and crunchy addition to your Halloween-themed board.

Pretzel Sticks: There are so many ways to incorporate pretzel sticks or pretzel rods into your Halloween party, but I opted to dip small pretzel sticks in red frosting to look like, well, I don’t know. Bloody fingers? Matchsticks? I’ll let you decide.

Pumpkin Spice-Covered Pretzels: These Trader Joe’s pretzels are a delicious Halloween treat.

Brach’s Caramel Candies: A classic candy that brings a caramel touch to your Halloween board.

Orange Fruits, Fresh Veggies and Halloween Snacks: Think carrot sticks, Goldfish crackers, Cheetos minis, dried apricots, dried tangerines, and dried mangoes. If you have fresh fruit, like cantaloupe, mango, and orange slices, add it too. Add all the orange things!!

Pumpkin Spread: A savory option to balance out the sweets.

Gummy Worms: Always a welcome addition to any Halloween dessert or festive snack board.

Eyeball Cocoa Bombs: White Chocolate Cocoa Bombs filled with marshmallows that look like bloodshot eyeballs, and they were a perfect addition to the spooky season.

Halloween Oreos: These festive cookies are only available for a limited time, so grab a package when you see them! They’re a fun addition to your Halloween grazing board.

Hairy Spider Cookies: These Spider Halloween Cookies are so cute and tasty! Perfect for kids, make these easy Halloween cookies next time you’re feeling spooky!
