How to Make Kids Birthday Charcuterie Board

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

1 cup Circus Animal Cookies
6 mini cupcakes
1 ½ cups prepared popcorn
½ cup Nerds Clusters candy
½ cup sour gummy worms
4.5 oz package Airheads Extreme Rainbow Berry
3.2 oz box Buncha Crunch candy
6 candy bracelets
4 lollipops

Step by Step Guide

1. Start by measuring out all your ingredients.

2. Fill one ramekin with Nerds Clusters candy and place it near the top right of your platter. Leave some space above and to the side so it looks balanced.

3. Fill the other ramekin with Buncha Crunch candy and set it on the bottom left, roughly mirroring the first ramekin.

4. Now, arrange the Circus Animal Cookies at the bottom below the Buncha Crunch ramekin, letting some cookies creep up the side a bit.

5. Toss the sour gummy worms in the top left corner.

6. Lay out the Airheads Extreme Rainbow Berry on the right side in the middle.

7. Place the candy bracelets on the bottom left near the Buncha Crunch.

8. Fill in the middle left and top areas with the mini cupcakes — these make the board feel extra special.

9. Fill the gaps with popcorn clusters to keep things light and crunchy.

10. Line up the lollipops along the right side from the middle down for a fun finishing touch.

Serve and Enjoy!

Important Recipe Notes

This board is flexible—feel free to swap out treats based on your child’s favorites or what you have on hand.
If you want to add a little savory balance, try tossing in cheese cubes, pretzels, or mini crackers.
Choose bright, colorful snacks to make the board look even more fun and cheerful.
If you’re serving outside, avoid melty candies (like chocolate) on hot days.
If you’re prepping ahead, you can arrange the dry ingredients (like popcorn, cookies, and candy) a few hours early. Just cover the board lightly with plastic wrap. Add perishable items like cupcakes right before serving to keep everything fresh.
For leftovers. Store them in airtight containers—just be sure to separate soft and crunchy treats so they don’t get soggy.
