Strawberries
Apple
Blueberries
Sunflower seeds
Candy eyes
Celery
Peanut butter or any nut/seed butter you like
Bananas
Mini chocolate chips
Kiwi
Pretzel sticks
Grapes
Cuties
No bake brownie bliss ball bats

Making the festive waffles:

If you don’t have Dash mini waffle makers yet, they are a must! And they have so many different festive one’s that are great for the holidays. Prepare the batter based off the package instructions. And spray a bit of oil to the mini waffle maker, add 3 Tbsp of batter to the waffle maker, and cook until you reach desired consistency. I cooked mine about 5 minutes. And yes you can prep these in advance and simply reheat for a few minutes before serving.

Apple monsters:

For the apple monsters, take two slices of apple, add peanut butter or sunflower butter to the middle, and press the edges of the apple together with the nut or seed butter to adhere. And stick a slice of strawberry in the middle for the tongue and sunflower seeds for the teeth. Take a little bit of nut or seed butter, add to the back of the candy eyes, and place on the top apple slice.

Spooky grape eyes:

First cut the bottom of the grapes a bit to allow the grapes to stand up. And dip part of the top of the grapes in melted chocolate and place on parchment paper. And repeat until you run out of grapes. Top each grape with one candy eye and transfer to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden.

Making monsters on a log:

Slice celery into desired length, add peanut butter or any type of nut or seed butter to the middle of the celery stalk. And add 3-4 candy eyes throughout the celery stalk.

Kiwi Frankensteins:

Take a kiwi and create a 45° angled zig zag around 1 inch from the top of the kiwi. And either peel from where you created the zig zag with a peeler or use a knife to remove the skin. And you can peel the pieces of where you created the zig zag with your fingers to create a head/hair like look. Add melted chocolate to the back of the candy eyes and place onto the kiwi. With a toothpick add melted chocolate to create a mouth and for the stitches. And add a pretzel stick to each side of the kiwi. Store in refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Banana ghost:

Cut bananas in half and using a knife create two upside down v’s starting with a smaller one and then a bigger one next to it. But leave some space in between the two cut outs. And add mini chocolate chips for the eyes and using a toothpick create the mouth with the melted chocolate.

Pumpkin cuties:

First, peel the cuties and set aside. Slice a tiny bit of celery for the pumpkin stem. And place the celery into the middle of the cutie.

Bat brownies and spider cookies:

And these no bake brownie bats and spider cookies are great for prepping in advance and having them ready to go. But if you don’t feel like making these items, use fake spiders and bat props to fill the board.

Putting it all together:

And once everything is prepped, the fun begins, assembling the board. First, start by adding the different waffles to the board. And then fill in the reset of the space with all the spooky items prepped. But there really isn’t a rule as far as how to create the board. I just try to keep in mind colors, shapes, and textures when placing items on board. And you can always move things around, if you don’t like the way the board looks. But just have fun with it, it’s not meant to be stressful.
