Step-by-Step Instructions
- Popcorn Cauldron → Coat popcorn with melted orange and black candy melts, then serve in a cauldron bowl.
- Mummy Pretzels → Dip pretzels in white chocolate, drizzle extra to look like wraps, and add candy eyes.
- Frosted Brownies → Top brownie bites with green frosting and sprinkles for a fun, colorful accent.
- Oreo Mummies → Use cookie icing to create “bandages” and stick candy eyes on top.
- Cheese Brooms → Insert pretzel sticks into cheese cubes and slice the bottoms into broom “fringe.”
- Assemble Board → Arrange sweet and salty items in clusters on a large serving board, alternating colors and textures for visual appeal.
Pro Tips
