Halloween Cheese Board
Charcuterie boards are still very popular and so fun to assemble for any holiday but Halloween is a bit extra special with all the themed candies and easy-to-make treats to add to classic cheese boards.

I guess we can call this a Halloween Char-boo-terie Board!
A charcuterie board is really just a cheese and meat board with some extra snacks on it, like fruit, candy, cookies, dips, and really whatever you like. It’s a good idea to have different textures with the foods you’re using and even place some foods in small bowls, as I did with the mozzarella balls.
Equipment
- Large cutting board or tray that measures approximately 18 inches long by 12 inches wide
- Parchment paper (optional) to protect the cutting board
- Toothpicks
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- Frankenstein Peeps candy
- Reese’s Chocolate Pumpkins
- 2 varieties of Crackers (round and rectangle)
- Mini Pumpkin Cheeseballs
- Fresh Mozzarella Balls
- Gummy Worms
- Green olives with Pimento
- Candy Eyeballs
- Pepperoni slices
- Halloween rings
- Skeleton hand
How to Make a Halloween Charcuterie Board
Step 1
Place a sheet of parchment paper on your charcuterie board, if desired. Add the Fresh Mozzarella Balls into a small bowl, and place a candy eyeball onto each of the pieces on top. Place the bowl of Fresh Mozzarella Balls with the candy eyes towards the top left of your board.
Step 2
Place the Frankenstein Peeps candy towards the bottom right and the round crackers layered from the top middle, around the mozzarella balls, and down to the Frankenstein peeps.
Step 3
Add the Pepperoni slices on the bottom right ⅔ of the board, and the Reese’s Chocolate Pumpkins (7 of them) below the crackers, to the right of the Frankenstein Peeps.
Step 4
The mini pumpkin cheeseballs are placed at the middle left side of the board with the rectangle crackers below the cheese balls.
Step 5
Add a few gummy worms above the cheese balls. Then poke a toothpick into the sides of 3 olives. Repeat about 5 times. We used 15 olives total for this board. Add the olive skewers to fill in the gaps.
Step 6
Fill in more of the gaps with Halloween spider rings, then set a skeleton hand over the board. Refrigerate the board until ready to serve.
Tips, Tricks, and FAQs
- Get creative with your charcuterie board. You can even use a coffin-shaped tray.
- Add your favorite cheeses, like cheddar, Swiss, smoked Gouda, goat cheese, or a sharp white cheddar. Don’t forget a cheese knife for any semi-soft cheeses.
- Use your favorite meats like smoked sausage, prosciutto, or salami.
- Get the kids involved to pick out their favorite Halloween candy to use. Are you team candy corn or candy pumpkins?
- Fresh fruits like blackberries or caramel apples are delicious to add.
- The type of cracker you use is up to you. I use whatever I may have in the pantry. Sometimes it’s Ritz crackers.
- Got a favorite Halloween cookie? Add them to the Halloween-themed board.
