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 added these cute mini pumpkin cheese balls to this Halloween snack board. Plus I added a spooky skelton hand and some plastic spiders to create more Halloween spirit. 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. Create this Halloween Fruit salad to serve alongside this grazing board.

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.

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.
