Notes

  • Don't worry about finding the exact same items in these photos! Just do your best and look for things that fit the theme and that you think your friends and family will enjoy.
  • When you're out shopping, stick to ingredients that are primarily in black, orange, purple and green colors for a more festive looking board.
  • You may need to go to more than one store to find everything you need. This board is primarily made up from items at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.
  • Think outside the box, and be sure to check out the whole grocery store for ingredients, not just the deli area. For example, I found the ghost cookies in the bakery, and the chocolate pumpkins in the candy section.
  • I purchased my Halloween decorations at Michael's and the seasonal Halloween store.
