How to Put Together Festive Halloween Charcuterie Board
- First things first, choose a board or platter. Start with any large tray, large cutting board, or large platter as your base. You can even use a large cookie sheet (see below!). Round trays or rectangle will work, or something fun or holiday themed.
- Select a variety of foods. Pick a mix of flavors and textures – something salty, some sweet options, of course you need some crunchy, and something soft.
- Arrange larger items first. Place small bowls, cheeses, meats, or other anchor items on the board before filling in the gaps.
- Add smaller snacks. Fill in the empty spaces with crackers, nuts, fruit, veggies, or candies.
- Mix colors and textures. Spread out items of similar colors and place contrasting textures next to each other for a more appealing look.
- Garnish and serve. Add little extras like herbs, chocolate chips, or dips to finish things off. For a Halloween-themed snack board, add spooky decorations like candy eyes, plastic spiders, or use small cookie cutters to cut out Halloween shapes from fruit or cheese.
- Add serving pieces like spoons or cheese knives, if needed. Then serve and enjoy.
