Ingredients
Directions
- Lay out all your ingredients on the counter to see what you have. Prepare each item: slice the cucumber, cantaloupe, kiwi, and bell pepper. For a spooky touch, use a marker cap to cut a mouth shape from each cucumber slice, and use a mini Halloween cookie cutter to cut bat shapes from the cantaloupe.
- Place the blackberries, mustard (if using), and any other dips or wet ingredients into small bowls. Arrange these bowls in the center of a large serving board.
- Take one ingredient at a time and fill in small sections of the board. For visual appeal, put contrasting colors next to each other; for example, if you have two green items, place them on opposite sides of the board. Continue adding ingredients, working outward until the board is full.
- Add fun decorative touches like candy eyeballs, mini chocolate chips for monster eyes or mouths, and optionally small plastic spiders, vampire teeth, or other Halloween decorations. (Only use these if serving kids old enough to tell food from decorations.)
- Place a small knife or serving fork for each cheese, and small spoons for dips or berries as needed. Enjoy your spooky board!
