Getting Creative with Your Snacks
Now that you’ve gathered all your spooky ingredients, let’s get creative with them:
- Strawberry Ghosts: Dip your strawberries in white chocolate and let them dry. Once set, melt some dark chocolate and paint eyes on the strawberries to create adorable and edible ghosts.
- Mini Pumpkin Oranges: Give your cutie oranges a Halloween makeover by adding cut flower stems to the tops to make them look like mini pumpkins. A simple yet effective touch!
- Zombie Pretzel Rods: Drizzle white chocolate over pretzel rods and add googly eyes to make them look like delicious zombies. It’s a fun and spooky twist on a classic snack.
- Meringue Cookie Ghosts: Add googly eyes to the vanilla meringue cookies to transform them into ghostly treats. Edible googly eyes can be added to almost anything to make them look spooky and fun.
Assembling Your Spooktacular Snack Board
Now comes the fun part – assembling your Trader Joe’s Halloween Snack Board. Here’s how to do it:
- Start with a large serving platter or board as your canvas.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
And there you have it – a spooktacular Trader Joe’s Halloween Snack Board that’s as delicious as it is fun to put together. The best part about creating snack boards like these is that you can customize them to suit your guests’ preferences. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get creative and add your favorite Trader Joe’s treats to the mix.
So, this Halloween, impress your friends and family with a snack board that’s both convenient and a feast for the eyes. With a little creativity and the fantastic selection of Halloween-themed goodies at Trader Joe’s, you can create a memorable and spooky spread that everyone will enjoy.
