Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds sweet spreads and dips (such as brain dip, pumpkin cheesecake dip, or marshmallow fluff)
2 pounds crackers or cookies (such as classic graham crackers, nilla wafers, or chocolate squares)
2 1/2 pounds crunchy and salty snacks (such as caramel corn, pretzel witch fingers, or Halloween snack mix)
2 1/2 pounds sweet treats (such as monster Ritz cookies, sorting hat cookies, or witch hat cupcakes)
1 pound fresh fruit (such as blackberries, strawberries, or mandarin oranges)

Begin by placing any bowls, dishes, or cups on your chosen board, spacing them far apart. This could include your selected sweet spreads and dips.
Place your chosen crackers or cookies in piles or rows. Keep these items on opposite sides of the board, if possible.
Next, arrange your selected crunchy and salty snacks in piles or rows, ideally between the crackers and cookies.
Place sweet treats strategically around the board, ensuring they're easily accessible.
If you've opted for fresh fruit, fill in the "holes" with these or add utensils (skewers, forks, knives, etc).
Review the board arrangement and make sure that flavors alternate well (coverings to fillings, soft to firm, etc) and no food of the same color is close together.
Serve as desired.
