Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re planning ahead, you can prepare some elements of your Halloween Pumpkin Snack Board in advance:

• Chop your veggies a day ahead and store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
• Assemble the board a few hours before your event, but keep the cheese separate until just before serving to maintain freshness.
• Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, but I recommend enjoying them fresh for the best taste!
