How to Make the Party Candy Board

Directions:

Start by placing your ingredients that spread easily into small bowls. Ingredients like M&M’s, Sno-Caps, are small, and move around easily, so they are better served in small bowls. I also like to use bowls in varying heights for more appeal. Place your bowls around your serving board. You can play around until you have them just where you want them.

Begin to fill in around the bowls with your assorted chocolate candy, and then finish with the chocolate pretzels, and popcorn. Try to vary the colors equally around the board. Making it more appealing to your guest try to use nice colors and snacks that look appealing.

There is no particular science to creating the perfect board. Just have fun, and make sure you cover all the empty spaces with snacks.
