The Oscars is one of my favorite nights of the year. I love remembering the movies, seeing the fashion, and most importantly, watching the show with friends. I originally made this candy board for Emily Schuman and the Cupcakes & Cashmere team as a centerpiece for an Academy Awards viewing party, but, with all your favorite movie-going classics, it also works perfectly for the Oscars (or any of the awards shows!).

How to Make This Candy Board

Ingredients

• Regular M&Ms

• Peanut M&Ms

• Junior Mints

• Sour Patch Kids

• Red Vines

• Hot Tamales

• Dots

• Yogurt Covered Pretzels

• Swedish Fish

• Bunch CRUNCH

• Good & Plenty

• Sour Punch Straws

• Popcorn

Directions

• Add the regular M&M’s, Hot Tamales, and Good & Plenty in ramekins. Place them evenly on the board to anchor it.

• Add the popcorn to a popcorn box or bowl and add to the edge of the board. Add the larger items, like Red Vines, Sour Punch Straws, and Yogurt Covered Pretzels around the edge of the board.

• Fill in the gaps with the remaining candies, being sure to separate similar colors. Pro tip: I like to line up the Swedish fish like in a “school of fish” formation.

For Serving

I generally entertain friends and we’re not too precious about touching items (we just grab items directly from the plate). But if that’s something you or your guests are worried about, these little scoops are great for serving up those little candies and popcorn. Use tongs for the rest!
