- Small bowls/ramekins (2–4) for candies/dips
- Spoon or small spatula (for hummus)

- Parchment paper (optional liner for easy cleanup)
Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions
- Pick your board: Use a large platter/board and (optional) line with parchment for easy cleanup.
- Place the “anchors”: Add big items first—sugar cookies, Rice Krispie Treats, animal crackers, and Nilla Wafers.
- Add bowls: Place small bowls for chocolate hummus, M&M’s, jelly hearts, and Sour Patch Kids. 🥣
- Fill gaps with color: Tuck in piroulines, wafer cookies, Twizzlers, and Dove hearts around the board.
- Make it look full: Break Twizzlers into shorter pieces, stack cookies, and fan wafers for height. ✨
- Optional drizzle: Melt white candy melts and drizzle over cookies or pretzels for extra “wow.”
- Serve: Put it out right away and let everyone snack and dip! 💘
Pro Tips
- Board layout secret: Big items first → bowls → medium snacks → tiny candies to fill gaps.
- Keep it neat: Use bowls for sticky candies so they don’t glue everything together.
- Make ahead: Assemble up to 2 hours early; keep covered at room temp.
- Budget swap: Choose 2 cookies + 3 candies + 2 chocolates + 1 dip and it still looks amazing.
