How To Design A Halloween Candy Board Start with a board or tray, I used an inexpensive plastic black pumpkin tray. You can stack, pile, line up, or put wrapped treats in many designs.
Choose Focal Points in odd numbers of larger items and place them first as anchor focal points. Use things like chocolate candies in paper cups, cookies, or lollipops as anchor points.
Design things in small piles, and add others in equal parts in various patterns like stacks, piles, or neat rows. The variation of textures is pleasing to the eye.
Small Bowls are a nice addition, I used some black ones with a pumpkin shape! And they look great with unwrapped candy you want to feature like the black and orange twists or bright-colored gumballs that roll around. Then, put a creepy gummy snake on top or a little plastic spider!
Lollipops can be decorated with little candy eyeballs. Glue those on with some white frosting and tie them with ribbon to plastic Dracula teeth!
Empty Spots can be filled in with small items like wrapped foil chocolate balls or smaller sweets like candy corn or gummies.
Add Different Textures by trying different kinds of candy, long licorice can be tied into knots, pile up the candies like black licorice medallions, or the fabulous sugary Dracula fangs!
What To Use For Your Board?
- a large tray, use black, orange, purple, or green!
- a large cutting board works really well, just give it a good clean. They can be round, square, or rectangular in shape.
- an extra large board is also fun for a party, like a long 4' grazing board to put down the center of a long table.
Use 2-3 Small Bowls that are black, orange, or white and round or shaped like pumpkins to serve small things like candy corn.
Small Baked Cookies in shapes like pumpkins, ghosts, coffins, bats, and spider webs. Stack up the cookies, and these are so fun for kids. You can also add some Halloween Cupcakes!
Themed Charcuterie Boards are all the rage, pick a color theme, scary and gory, or make a glamourous sparkly board. A Hocus Pocus movie night-themed board with candy is a huge hit with so many people.
Plastic Spiders add that little spooky season touch crawling across.
