Equipment

large wood board (18x24-inch)

Ingredients

Halloween Vegetables

2 cups white cauliflower florets
3 cups orange baby carrots
1 large orange bell pepper sliced
1 cup mini orange tomatoes whole or halved
2 cups yellow baby carrots
1 large yellow bell pepper sliced
1 cup mini yellow tomatoes whole or halved
2 heads purple cauliflower cut into florets (~5-6 cups)
1 cup purple baby carrots
1 cup black olives

Dip Ideas

½ cup guacamole (plus more for refilling)
½ cup hummus (plus more for refilling)
ranch veggie dip
yogurt fruit dip
any other dips you like!

Instructions

On a large wood board (mine is 24x18 inches), use vegetables to build an outline of the candy corn shape, then fill it in.
Create a triangle near the top of the board using white cauliflower. (I also used some white baby carrots.)
Next, outline the orange middle layer using orange baby carrots & orange bell pepper slices.
Then outline the yellow bottom layer using yellow baby carrots & yellow bell pepper slices.
Fill each layer with the corresponding color of vegetables, using mini orange & yellow tomatoes to fill any gaps in those layers. Continue until your candy corn shape is as saturated as you’d like it.
Place 2 small serving bowls in the top corners of your snack board, as placeholders for your desired dips.
Finally, cover remaining space with purple cauliflower florets, purple baby carrots, and black olives, until the board is filled.
When ready to serve, fill the serving bowls with guacamole, hummus, or whatever dips you’d like.
