- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
Mermaid popcorn
Under the sea jello cups
Mini cupcakes, frosted
Mermaid (blue and purple) sprinkles
Instructions
- After you have all your ingredients prepared, start by placing the sprinkles in a small dish in the center of the charcuterie board.
- On the right and left side of the center of the board place 6 cupcakes on each side, leaving a bit of space between the sprinkles and the cupcakes.
- Next place 4 jello cups on the top of the board and four cups on the bottom in a line, filling the space between the mini cupcakes on the left and right, but leaving space between the jello cups and sprinkles in the middle.
- There will now only be space surrounding the sprinkles in the middle. Fill in all the center space with the mermaid popcorn.
- And done!
Notes
Interactive Portion:
- Keep the mini cupcakes only frosted and not designed, make it an activity by allowing kids or whoever is using the board to dip each cupcake into the sprinkles and make their own cupcake.
- Let them add any sprinkles to their jello as well.
