Fun + Spooky Kid's Halloween Snack Board

These kid’s snack boards are always my favorites to put together and John Woodford was thrilled because it has all his favorite things! PB+J spiders, hot dog mummies, clementine pumpkins, spider web guacamole, ghost bananas, mini English muffin mummy pizzas, and more! Really any of these individually would be super fun for kid’s lunches or dinners too and they’re all super easy! Feel free to mix, match, and customize it to your liking. You definitely don’t have to include every ingredient and there’s lots of different ways make this your own! Find all the ingredients and instructions for assembling this one below!
