April Fools' Day Candy Board Ideas

Do you like to have a little fun on April Fools' Day? Traditionally, I've always loved to play a few tricks. My favorite to-date is to tape the handle of the water sprayer down on the sink. When your victim turns the water on, they'll get a surprise. This year's contribution of tricks and pranks comes in the form of this epic candy charcuterie board!

Instead of delightful treats, it's filled with pranks and the ultimate in sour, spicy and downright gross candies. I couldn't be more stoked to share this big list of April Fools' candy to get you started!

I'm kind of obsessed with this fun way to get a little silly. While it's all about pranks and shenanigans on April Fools Day, this tray of crazy candy is best "enjoyed" when everyone knows that they are in for it. And make sure to only add age-appropriate tricks to your board. This board was made with my own son in mind who loves extreme sour and extreme spicy foods with friends. It's like more of an activity... who can handle the most terrible candies for longer?
