Welcome to another edition of Bites on Boards! If you’re planning a Halloween party or just want to add a little spooky fun to your treats, this Monster Munchies food board is the ultimate choice. Filled with monster doughnuts, apple marshmallow teeth, and creepy-crawly decorations, it’s a hit with kids and adults alike. The best part? It’s simple to put together, and you don’t need any fancy ingredients!
Below, you’ll find a list of all the ingredients used to create this Monster Munchies food board. The quantities will depend on how large your charcuterie board or platter is. The board pictured in this post is 42 cm (16.5’’) x 25 cm (10’’).
Here’s how you can make your own spooky charcuterie board:
Monster Doughnuts
- Doughnuts with a hole in the centre (store-bought or homemade): Arrange the monster doughnuts on your serving board.
- Plastic vampire teeth (one per doughnut): Place a plastic vampire teeth set into the hole of each doughnut, making sure they’re open enough to look like a monster’s mouth.
- Candy eyes (two per doughnut): Stick two candy eyes on top of each doughnut to create a face. Adjust as needed so they look silly and spooky at the same time! You can attach them with melted chocolate as well if you want them to stick better to your doughnuts.
Apple Marshmallow Teeth
- Apples (1-2 apples make several “teeth sandwiches”): Slice apples into thin wedges, keeping the skin on for a nice red “lip” effect.
- Peanut butter (for spreading): Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one side of each apple slice. For an allergy-friendly version, use sunflower seed butter or any peanut-free spread.
- Mini marshmallows (about 5 per “teeth” sandwich): Take one apple slice with peanut butter, place 5 mini marshmallows along the peanut butter side, and top with another peanut-buttered apple slice (peanut butter side facing down) to create a “teeth” sandwich. The marshmallows should resemble little teeth between two apple “lips.”
Finishing Touches
- Plastic spiders or other small, spooky decorations: Add plastic spiders and any other Halloween decorations around the board for an extra creepy touch. Or, add other Halloween-themed snacks, like gummy worms or pretzel sticks, to fill in any gaps and make the board even more fun.
I hope you found this Monster Munchies food board inspiring. It’s easy, fun, and guaranteed to make your guests grin (and maybe cringe) with delight! Enjoy your spooky, delicious creation!
Stay tuned for the next Bites on Boards creation, where I’ll take you on another culinary adventure that’s bound to leave your taste buds tingling with anticipation. 🎃🍽️👻
