How to Create a Halloween Breakfast Board

Putting together a breakfast board is all about combining fun, spooky treats with healthy options like fruit for balance. Here’s how I built mine:

1. Monster Donuts

These donuts are the stars of the show! I used regular glazed donuts from H-E-B and turned them into spooky monster faces using just a few simple additions:

• Candy Eyes: These edible eyes can be found at most grocery or craft stores. Simply press them into the donuts to create fun, googly-eyed monsters.

• Vampire Teeth: I took small, plastic vampire teeth and placed them in the donut holes to make it look like the donuts had mouths. These are great for adding a spooky, yet playful touch.

2. Pumpkin Oranges

Next, I took some Cuties (small, easy-to-peel oranges) and gave them a pumpkin makeover:

• Peel the Oranges: Start by peeling the entire orange, leaving it whole.

• Add the Stem: Cut small pieces of celery and stick them in the top of the peeled orange to create a “stem.” The result looks just like a mini pumpkin!

3. Ghost Pancakes:

For some added spooky fun, I used my Dash Waffle Maker to create little ghost-shaped waffles:

• Waffle or Pancake Batter: You can use your favorite waffle or pancake batter recipe. Pour it into the waffle maker and out comes adorable ghost-shaped treats.

• Add Details: You can dust them with powdered sugar, or drizzle some syrup over them to make them extra yummy!

4. Adding Fruits

For some fresh and healthy elements, I added a variety of fruits to the board:

• Sliced apples (you can dip these in peanut butter for a fun twist)

• Strawberries

• Blackberries or blueberries (to give the board a darker, spooky feel)

How to Arrange the Board

When it comes to arranging your Halloween breakfast board, there are no rules! However, here are a few tips to make it visually appealing:

• Start with Larger Items: Place your donuts, waffles, and oranges around the board first, as they take up the most space.

• Fill in with Fruits: Add smaller fruits like berries and apple slices to fill in the gaps and make the board look full.

• Mix & Match: Try to spread out the different colors and shapes to make the board look balanced and visually interesting.

Tips for Customizing Your Breakfast Board

You can easily make this Halloween breakfast board your own by swapping in some of your favorite breakfast foods. Here are a few ideas:

• Mini Muffins: Add some pumpkin or blueberry mini muffins for more variety.

• Yogurt & Granola: Serve small bowls of yogurt topped with granola for a healthier option.

• Bagels & Cream Cheese: Add some bagels with a smear of cream cheese, and use the candy eyes to turn them into bagel monsters!

Why a Halloween Breakfast Board is Perfect for Busy Mornings

One of the best things about a breakfast board is how easy it is to throw together. If you’re hosting a Halloween morning get-together or just want to make your family’s breakfast extra special, this board takes minimal time and effort. You can even prep some of the items, like peeling the oranges or baking the pancakes ahead of time.

It’s also a great way to get kids involved! Let them help with decorating the donuts or arranging the fruit. They’ll love being a part of the spooky fun.

Fun Ideas for Decorating Your Breakfast Board

To take your Halloween breakfast board to the next level, consider adding some extra decorations around the board:

• Halloween-Themed Plates & Napkins: Serve the breakfast items on fun Halloween plates and napkins for extra flair.

• Spider Web Tablecloth: Set the board on a spooky spider web tablecloth or runner for a fun, themed look.

• Candles & Lights: Add some flickering candles or string lights around the board to set the spooky mood.
