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. Hereโs how I built mine:
1. Monster Donuts
These donuts are the stars of the show! I used regular glazed donuts from H-E-B then turned them into spooky monster faces using just a few simple additions:
โข 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.
โข 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:
โข Peel the Oranges: Start by peeling the entire orange, leaving it whole.
โข Add the Stem: Cut small pieces of celery and stick them in the top of the peeled orange to create a โstem.โ The result looks just like a mini pumpkin!
3. Ghost Pancakes:
I used my Dash Waffle Maker to create little ghost-shaped waffles to add a little spookiness:
โข 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.
โข 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:
โข Sliced apples (you can dip these in peanut butter for a fun twist)
โข Strawberries
โข Blackberries or blueberries (to give the board a darker, spooky feel)
How to Arrange the Board
There are no rules when it comes to arranging your Halloween breakfast board,However here’s a few tips to make it visually appealing:
โข Start with Larger Items:ย Place your donuts, waffles, and oranges around the board first because they take up the most space.
โข Fill in with Fruits:ย Add smaller fruits like berries and apple slices to fill in the gaps so the board looks full.
โข Mix & Match: Spread out the different colors and shapes making the board look balanced as well as visually interesting.
Tips for Customizing Your Breakfast Board
Here’s a few ideas you can easily make this Halloween breakfast board your own by swapping in some of your favorite breakfast foods:
โข Mini Muffins: Use pumpkin or blueberry mini muffins for more variety.
โข Yogurt & Granola:ย For a healthier option serve small bowls of yogurt topped with granola.
โข Bagels & Cream Cheese:ย Add bagels with a smear of cream cheese, and use the candy eyes to turn them into bagel monsters!
