Ingredients
- 12 pre-cooked buffalo chicken wings
- 6 mini ham and cheese sliders
- 1 cup soft pretzel bites
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese cubes
- 1 cup pepperoni slices or salami rosettes
- 2 cups tortilla chips
- 1 cup celery sticks
- 1 cup carrot sticks
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
- 1/2 cup salsa or guacamole
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts or cashews
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Hot Elements
Warm up your buffalo chicken wings and mini sliders in the oven according to their specific package instructions or your favorite recipe. You want these to be hot and ready just as you finish assembling the rest of the board.
- Step 2: Place the Anchor Bowls
On a large wooden board or platter, place small bowls for your dips. Position the ranch, blue cheese, mustard, and salsa in different areas of the board to act as “anchors.” This helps balance the layout.
- Step 3: Arrange the Main Proteins
Place the hot buffalo wings in one corner and the mini sliders along another edge. Add the pepperoni or salami slices near the cheese cubes to create a savory section.
- Step 4: Add the Salty Snacks and Veggies
Fill the larger gaps with tortilla chips and soft pretzel bites. Use the celery and carrot sticks to separate different types of snacks, adding a pop of fresh color to the board.
- Step 5: Fill in the Small Gaps
Use the roasted nuts to fill in any tiny empty spaces remaining on the board. This makes the spread look abundant and “overflowing,” which is the key to a great snack board aesthetic.
