Fun Halloween Snack Board for Kids

In case you didn’t already know, I’m really into Halloween over here. I’ve already shared two fun + festive Halloween snack boards but I couldn’t resist putting together one more! This one is made with kids in mind but I think anyone could enjoy it! It has a little bit of everything, from fruit and veggies, to snacks and desserts, and even hot dogs (my kind of board)! Everything has a fun little twist or addition to make it Halloween themed so that kids will love eating every little bit! Not only is this board super easy to put together but probably also my most fun board to date! You can even involve the little ones and they will love helping assemble the different ingredients and putting this together!

Summer Party Chips + Dip Board

Y’all know I love an impressive giant board for entertaining as well as some easy, zero-prep party food- and this chips + dip board doubles as both! This is such a perfect summertime snack or appetizer for by the pool, at your next cookout, or any summer get-together! The best part is that there’s ZERO cooking involved (unless you count chopping a few things and opening some cans!) yet this is a spread that is sure to impress all your guest AND be super delicious as well. I love that guests can mix, match, and customize their own selections and taste ingredients as they please. You can find the full ingredients list and instructions for putting this one together below as well as the link to shop the exact tray I used for this board too!

Summer Dessert Board

If you’ve been following a while you know I love to cook, but hate baking (way too much math and science involved and I hate measuring). So when I need to bring a dessert somewhere and still impress, here’s my solution: the dessert board! This one’s even themed for Memorial Day festivities, but there’s a million different ways you could customize it! And the best part, no baking required! I seriously bought everything at Kroger and just cut a few things up! Arrange and you’re done! Yes, even the little flowers are edible too! I can’t think of a better way to eat dessert either, getting to mix and match and try bites of all the delicious things.
