PUMPKIN SNACK BOARD

 

What to do to create an attractive and delectable pumpkin snack board that will wow your guests during a Halloween or fall celebration.

 

INGREDIENTS

blackberries

pitted whole black olives

black mission figs

Black Concord grapes

thirty sharp cheddar cheese slices, cracker cut

two orange bell pepper, thinly sliced

baby carrots

cheese balls

three Seed Sweet Potato Crackers

cantaloupe chunks

orange

veggie straws (picked from a bag of multi-colored straws)

cheddar cheese cracker squares

candy corn popcorn or cheddar cheese popcorn

Pumpkin Joe-Joe’s

clementines, peeled and separated into pieces

dried apricots

one small seedless cucumber, thinly sliced

 

Directions

Set three cookie cutters in the shapes of candy corn for the pumpkin's eyes and nose on a 20-inch round wood board. Create a grin for the pumpkin's mouth out of the black grapes. Blackberries, black olives, and black figs should be placed within the cookie cutters.

Lay the cheese slices down the center of the board first. The other orange components should be lined up around the black meals and on each side of the cheese slices until the board is completely covered. Pack the orange items snugly around the board's edge so they will remain put even if you move the board to another area for serving.

 

Lift the cookie cutters from the board with care, reshaping the black ingredients into triangles if required. To fill in any gaps, you may add extra black or orange items.

Put the thinly sliced cucumber at the top of the board, curved to resemble the stem of a pumpkin.
