Description
These Perfect Halloween Charcuterie Boards are hauntingly beautiful and delicious! Filled with spooky snacks, creepy cheeses, fall fruits, and festive treats — they’re the ultimate centerpiece for your Halloween gathering, whether sweet, savory, or both.
Ingredients
- Assorted cured meats (salami, prosciutto, pepperoni)
- Cheeses (cheddar, brie, gouda, mozzarella balls as “eyeballs”)
- Crackers, crostini, or breadsticks (try bone-shaped for fun!)
- Fruits (blackberries, grapes, apple slices, figs)
- Vegetables (carrot sticks, mini bell peppers, olives, cherry tomatoes)
- Halloween candies (candy corn, gummies, chocolate eyeballs)
- Spooky extras (plastic spiders, ghost-shaped cookies, edible eyes)
- Jam or honey for dipping
- Fresh herbs for garnish (rosemary, thyme)
Instructions
- Choose your board: Use a large cutting board, serving tray, or slate. Wipe clean and dry.
- Start with bowls: Place small bowls for dips, jams, or olives around the board to anchor the layout.
- Add cheese: Place cheese blocks or wedges spaced across the board. Use mini cookie cutters for spooky shapes if desired.
- Layer meats: Fold or roll cured meats and arrange around the cheeses for texture and balance.
- Fill in with fruits and veggies: Tuck in grapes, sliced apples, blackberries, and colorful veggies for seasonal flair.
- Add the spooky details: Fill in gaps with Halloween candies, cookies, or edible eyeballs. Place plastic spiders or skeleton hands for effect.
- Garnish & serve: Add fresh herbs and serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Tailor your board for sweet, savory, or mixed themes. Use contrasting colors and textures to make it pop. Great for parties, movie nights, or themed dinners!
