This simple display idea for party snacks will have your guests circling the table and ready to take a bite. We stuck with a shark bait theme by adding fish candies, gummy worms and multi-colored gumballs to the compartments of a clean tacklebox. Kids can lift up the sections to reveal all of the treats under each level.

For the salty snacks like chips, pretzels and popcorn, we used clean sand pails and shovels to serve them up. You can even scoop them out with the shovel.
