When it comes to entertaining or even just fueling a Friday night movie marathon — nothing beats a well-crafted snack board. It’s all about balance: sweet and salty, crunchy and chewy, comforting and fun. But building a gluten-free snack board that actually satisfies everyone’s cravings? That can feel tricky — unless you’ve got the right mix.

This easy and delicious Gluten-Free Snack Board hits all the marks. Featuring LumberHead White Cheddar Popcorn, Hardbite All Natural Chips, Grain Zero Cranberry Bites, MadeGood Banana Granola Minis, gluten-free candies, nuts, and chocolate, it’s everything you need to keep the snackers in your life very happy — whether they’re gluten-free or not.

What You’ll Need

Here’s what to gather for your board. Quantities are flexible depending on the size of your board and number of people, but here’s a good starting point:

Savoury & Crunchy

LumberHead White Cheddar Popcorn – creamy, crunchy, and seriously addictive
Hardbite All Natural Chips – thick-cut, kettle-cooked, naturally gluten-free
Roasted mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios – check for gluten-free labels)

Sweet & Fruity

Grain Zero Cranberry Bites – chewy, tangy, and packed with superfood goodness
MadeGood Banana Granola Minis – perfectly poppable with a touch of natural sweetness
Dried fruits – like mango, apricot, or figs

Fun & Indulgent

Gluten-free candies – gummies, sour keys, or marshmallows (check packaging for GF labels)
Dark and milk chocolate chunks – bars broken into pieces, or chocolate-covered treats
Chocolate-covered nuts or pretzels (gluten-free certified)

Assembly Instructions

Choose your board or tray
A wooden charcuterie board, large platter, or even a baking sheet lined with parchment works great.
Anchor with bowls
Use 3–4 small bowls to hold things like candies, nuts, or granola minis. This helps contain smaller items and adds visual height.
Layer by texture and colour
Spread out the chips, popcorn, and larger bites first. Then fill in the gaps with dried fruit, chocolates, and nuts.
Mix sweet and savoury
Don’t cluster all the salty items together — placing opposites beside each other encourages adventurous snacking.
Top it off
Garnish with fresh fruit (like grapes or apple slices), if desired, or tuck in a few gluten-free crackers or cheese cubes for even more variety.

A great snack board doesn’t need to be fussy — it just needs to be thoughtful and tasty. With high-quality gluten-free snacks like LumberHead Popcorn, Hardbite Chips, and Grain Zero Cranberry Bites, you can build a board that satisfies everyone — gluten-free or not. Add a few sweets, a few salty bites, and you’re golden.

Whether you’re hosting friends or just treating yourself, this gluten-free snack board is a sure-fire way to make snack time feel a little more special.
