Place the crushed garlic, lemon juice and salt in a bowl, mxi to combine. Add the destined and peeled avocado, mash until you reach the desired consistency. Serve with the blue corn chips.

3 | Spider Web Pretzels

These can be made up to 7 days in advance if stored in an airtight container in the pantry.
4 | Mummy Cookies
Lay out a piece of baking paper or parchment paper. Lie the vanilla wafer cookies on top. . Melt the white chocolate. Pipe the white chocolate over the wafers in squiggly lines to make bandages. Add the candy eyes. Leave to harden.

5 | Fruit & Veggie Skewers
Thread the grapes, cherry tomatoes and marshmallows on to the skewers so that you end up with 2 of each on each skewer in an alternating pattern. Optional: Melt the chocolate and pipe ghost faces on to the marshmallows.
These can be made up to 1 day in advance if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
6 | Ghost Bananas
Cut each banana in half. Add the small chocolate drops as eyes and the large as mouths.
7 | Cheese Monsters
Remove the cellophane wrapper from the babybel cheese then remove the middle wax strip from the babybels. Use a small pointed sharp knife to create some fang shapes. Then add some candy eyes.

8 | Ants on a Log
Spread each celery stick with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Top the peanut butter with a few evenly spaced raisins (these are your ants). You could also add a few candy eyes.

Tips & Tricks
Here is how you can make this HalloweenThemed Snack Board perfectly every time!
- The first thing to do is to choose a board or platter that is large enough, if you don't have one you can always just layout some parchment paper on your bench or table and build your Halloween Snack Board on that. I find if you are using parchment paper or baking paper a quick way to make it look a bit nicer is to crunch the parchment paper into a ball then spread it out again, everything looks awesome on crinkled paper!
- The next thing to add is any small bowls you are planning on using, in this case I placed a bowl of guacamole in the centre of my platter.
- Arrange the tortilla chips around the guacamole and then add the rest of the items, I find it best to group the different items ie all the skewers together, all the cheese posters together etc.
- There are many other things you can add to a fun Halloween Snack Board here are some more ideas
- Black foods: Blackberries, black olives, prunes, Oreos
- Fresh veggies: mini capsicums/bell peppers, baby carrots
- Green Foods: Pea Fritters, Spinach Muffins
- Food you can cut into shape with ghost shaped cookie cutters: Cheese slices, sandwiches, slices of watermelon.
- Spooky looking food: Beetroot hummus, cured meats such as salami or prosciutto, pretzels, witch finger cookies , gummy worms, jelly snacks
- Your favourite Halloween candy
