Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The mini pumpkin cheeseballs are placed at the middle left side of the board with the rectangle crackers below the cheese balls.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
- Use your favorite meats like smoked sausage, prosciutto, or salami.
- Get the kids involved to pick out their favorite Halloween candy to use.
- 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.
