A quick and fun Halloween snack board arranged in candy corn stripes with white, orange, and yellow ingredients. Perfect for parties, school events, or movie nights, this no-bake treat combines salty pretzels, sweet candy corn, creamy white chocolate, and crunchy almonds for a crowd-pleasing presentation.

Ingredients

  • Candy Corn (about 2 cups)
  • Mini Pretzel Twists (about 2 cups)
  • White Chocolate Melting Wafers (about 1 cup)
  • Dried Cranberries (about 1 cup)
  • Salted Roasted Almonds (about 1 cup)
  • Orange M&M’s (about 1 cup)
  • Yellow M&M’s (about 1 cup)
  • Pumpkin-Shaped Marshmallows (about 1 cup)
  • Halloween Sprinkles (about ¼ cup)
  • Optional: Dark chocolate squares, caramel popcorn, gummy worms, or candy corn layered Jello cups

Instructions

  1. Melt the White Chocolate (5 minutes): Place the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. Be careful not to overheat — white chocolate burns easily. Set aside to cool slightly while you prep the board.
  2. Prepare the Board (2 minutes): Place your large board or platter on a flat surface. If using a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Decide on your layout — create three distinct stripes across the board, mimicking the candy corn colors: white, orange, and yellow.
  3. Create the White Stripe (3 minutes): In the bottom third of the board, arrange the white ingredients. Start with a line of mini pretzel twists. Then add the white chocolate drizzled over some of the pretzels. Sprinkle white M&M’s and pumpkin-shaped marshmallows in this section.
  4. Build the Orange Stripe (3 minutes): In the middle third of the board, layer the orange ingredients. Arrange a generous pile of candy corn in a wide band. Add orange M&M’s, dried cranberries, and more white chocolate drizzle if desired.
  5. Finish with the Yellow Stripe (3 minutes): In the top third of the board, create the yellow section. Use yellow M&M’s, salted almonds, and more pretzels. Drizzle with remaining white chocolate. If you have yellow sprinkles, scatter them over this section.
  6. Add the Final Touches (2 minutes): Fill in any gaps with extra candy corn, sprinkles, or whatever ingredients you have left. Place a few small bowls of candy corn and M&M’s on the board for easy grabbing. Sprinkle Halloween sprinkles over the entire board for a festive finish.
  7. Serve Immediately (or Chill): This board is best served at room temperature. If making ahead, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving so the chocolate softens slightly.

Notes

This board is best enjoyed the day it’s made. For best results, keep all ingredients at room temperature before assembling. If white chocolate seizes, start over with fresh wafers. The board can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free pretzels, and vegan by using dairy-free white chocolate and vegan marshmallows. Most candy corn is naturally vegan, but check the label.
