- 1 cup chocolate-covered pretzels
- 1 cup gummy worms
- 1 cup candy corn

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure you have a clean Mickey Mouse-shaped platter ready for arrangement.
- Sort and organize your Halloween candies by color and type, separating chocolate-based candies from fruit-flavored ones.
- Begin by creating a base layer of popcorn across the bottom section of the Mickey Mouse platter, creating a textured foundation.

- Fill in gaps with marshmallows, positioning them to create visual balance and texture.
- Carefully place assorted Halloween candies in the remaining spaces, ensuring a visually appealing and abundant look.
- For final presentation, slightly overlap ingredients to create a bountiful and inviting Halloween-themed candy display.
- Serve immediately or cover with clear wrap to maintain freshness until ready to enjoy.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your candies are at room temperature for the best presentation and texture.
- Color Coordination: Play with Halloween colors like orange, black, and purple when selecting additional candies to enhance the theme.
- Layering Technique: Create depth by varying the height and placement of different candies, using marshmallows and popcorn as natural "fillers".
- Visual Balance: Step back periodically while arranging to ensure an aesthetically pleasing layout that looks abundant but not overcrowded.
- Freshness is Key: Prepare the board close to serving time to maintain the crispness of items like popcorn and pretzels.
- Kid-Friendly Tip: Let children help arrange the candies for a fun family activity that sparks creativity.
- Storage Hack: If not serving immediately, cover the board with clear plastic wrap to preserve the arrangement and keep candies fresh.
