Assembling Your Spooktacular Snack Board

Now comes the fun part – assembling your Trader Joe’s Halloween Snack Board. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Start with a large serving platter or board as your canvas.
  2. Place three small bowls strategically on the board. You can get creative here; for instance, you can use a metal skeleton hand to hold one of the bowls. Fill one of these bowls with Spanish Manzanilla olives with Pimento Paste – they’ll look like eerie eyeballs!
  3. In the other two bowls, arrange chocolate-covered almonds and mozzarella balls. Don’t forget to add googly eyes to the mozzarella balls for that extra spooky touch.
  4. Begin lining one edge of the board with the various snacks and treats, such as the Halloween Joe Joe Cookies, Chocolate and Peanut Butter Joe Joes, and Trader Joe’s Ghosts and Bats Crispy Potato Snacks.
  5. Once the edge is lined with goodies, move on to the center of the board. Place the Petite Pumpkin Spice Cookies and Trader Joe’s Maple Leaf Cookies in a prominent position.
  6. Now, fill any remaining gaps on the board with fresh fruit, such as red grapes and blackberries. You can also scatter some extra chocolate-covered almonds for balance.
