# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required means you can spend your time actually enjoying the movie instead of being stuck in the kitchen
  • It's endlessly customizable, so whether your friends are sweet-tooth lovers or savory snackers, everyone gets their moment
  • The visual appeal of a well-arranged board makes people feel genuinely cared for, even though it takes just twenty minutes to pull together
02 -
  • Pop your popcorn fresh just before guests arrive—popcorn that's been sitting loses its crispness and becomes the sad, forgotten item on the board
  • Pat your grapes and any vegetables completely dry; moisture is the enemy of a beautiful board and leads to sad, soggy crackers nearby
  • Don't arrange your board more than thirty minutes before people arrive; some items start to wilt or lose texture, and the whole thing looks less vibrant
03 -
  • Prep all your ingredients in advance and keep them separate in containers; assembly takes just minutes and you can make the board while previews are still rolling
  • If you're making the board several hours ahead, cover it loosely with plastic wrap to keep everything fresh and prevent any snacks from absorbing flavors from their neighbors
