Ingredients
1 lb smoked turkey bacon, cooked until crispy
2 cups small pretzel sticks
1 cup cheddar cheese cubes
1 cup grapes
1/2 cup candy corn
1 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup dark chocolate-covered almonds
1 package guacamole or hummus
1 cup pita crackers
Instructions
Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy.
Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Place the bowls of guacamole or hummus on opposite sides of the wooden board to serve as anchors.
Arrange the chopped turkey bacon pieces near the center of the board.
Fan out the cheddar cheese cubes and pita crackers around the dip bowls.
Fill in the remaining empty spaces with grapes, pretzels, and candies.
Contrast colors by placing the dark chocolate-covered almonds next to the bright candy corn for a visual pop.
Notes
Keep the board refrigerated if serving outdoors. Assemble right before guests arrive to ensure the crackers remain crisp. For a different savory crunch, substitute the turkey bacon with roasted chickpeas or beef jerky.
