Steps:
Step 1: Plan Your Layout
Before you start, decide on the layout of your candy charcuterie board. Consider arranging candy in groups or color themes to make it visually appealing. Remember, this board can be as spooky or sweet as you want it to be—so feel free to customize this candy creation to your own tastebuds!
Step 2: Place the Ramekins
Position the small ramekins or bowls on the board. These will be perfect for holding smaller loose candy, snack mixtures, and creating height variations on the board!

Step 3: Start with the Skeleton (Optional)
If you're using a small skeleton figure, position it on the board in a fun and playful way, like it's snacking on the candy or welcoming guests to your Halloween Bash!
Step 4: Candy Overflow
Begin placing the candy around the board. Let the M&M’S, TWIX, SNICKERS & SKITTLES Fun Size packs spill out from the skeleton, adding a cascading effect and creating a playful and abundant appearance.
Step 5: Embrace Color and Variety
Next, add the vibrant M&M'S Ghouls Mix to the ramekins. Use their festive and colorful assortment to create an eerie effect for a visually striking display!
Step 6: Fill the Gaps
Continue to fill any gaps with more candy, ensuring the board looks full and enticing! You can also add a few Candy Creatures to give your Halloween candy display an extra spooky touch.

Step 7: Add Finishing Touches
If you’d like, you can sprinkle some loose M&M'S or SKITTLES around the board, allowing them to naturally fall between the candy and ramekins, adding a touch of whimsy!
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Once you're satisfied with the arrangement, your spooktacular Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board is ready to serve! It's a perfect treat for Halloween parties, Fall gatherings, or a sweet indulgence during movie nights.
With this bewitching candy board, your guests will be under its sweet spell all night long, and the Halloween spirit will come alive with every delectable bite
