The Snapboard was one of the products we shared from DIYCON. Its official name is SNAP! The Snackboard, and it is a serving board for cold foods that you put in the freezer before the party, so the board itself helps keep cheese, meat, fruit, and other snacks cool while they sit out. In our clip, the inventor shows it at her DIYCON booth. Here is the Instagram reel.

What Is the Snapboard?
The company, My Snapboard, LLC, sells it at mysnapboard.com and calls it a cold, customizable snackboard. According to the site, the board has a sealed, non-toxic cooling core inside. You freeze the board, snap on the end caps, and arrange your food on top. In our reel, the inventor describes the inside as a refrigerant that freezes in the freezer and holds the cold.
One side of the board is smooth and the other side is compartmented, so you can flip it depending on what you are serving. The board shown in our clip has a reddish wood-grain finish with black end caps.
What the Company Says
On its product pages and care guide, the company lists these details:
- Board size of 16 x 10 x 1.75 inches, or 18 x 10 x 1.75 inches with the end caps attached
- Made from food-safe ABS and polypropylene plastics
- Interchangeable snap-on end caps and a reversible board (smooth or compartmented side)
- Two wood-grain finishes listed on the site: Mahogany/Black and Tobacco/Black
- Freeze the board for at least 12 hours before serving, and keep it in the freezer between uses
- Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap; not dishwasher safe
The care and use guide says SNAP! is meant only for serving cold foods, not for hot food, cooking, or the microwave or oven. It also says the board helps keep serving temperatures cooler but is not a substitute for refrigeration, so normal food-safety rules still apply. The site lists a U.S. design patent (D1111718) and pending patents.
Who Invented It?
The site names Rene Wilson as the inventor. She says she created SNAP! because keeping cold foods cool, and looking good, on a display board was a constant battle when she hosted family and friends. In our reel she says that wondering whether food that had been sitting out was still cold and safe was her biggest pet peeve when she entertained and catered.
A DIYCON Find, Not a Performance Review
We shared this product as a find from DIYCON. This article covers the idea and what the company lists. It is not a hands-on test, and we have not measured how long the board stays cold. Watch the clip and check the company’s information before deciding whether it suits how you entertain.
Where to Get It
The Snapboard is sold on the company’s site at mysnapboard.com. Check there for current pricing and availability.
