Instructions
- Choose a large, flat serving platter or tray that resembles a danger zone.
- Arrange the fresh vegetables in bold, eye-catching sections to mimic obstacle pathways.
- Place cheese cubes in clusters resembling X-Men symbols or logos for a themed effect.
- Distribute mini pretzels and popcorn around the perimeter as the “obstacle barriers.”
- Fill small bowls with hummus and ranch dressing directly on the platter for dipping stations.
- Add colorful tortilla chips or nachos in the center as the “energy boost” elements.
- Decorate with fruit slices creatively, such as forming the X-Men insignia or other symbols.
- Layer deli slices in dynamic patterns to mimic superhero costumes or motifs.
- Finish by adding decorative accents like olives and pickles to resemble high-tech gadgets or danger elements.
Notes
