About this
A Halloween inspiration round-up from The House of Hood blog gathering 51 Halloween snack, treat and charcuterie board ideas sourced from Instagram and Pinterest. It organizes the boards by style — pink themed treat boards, skull boards, kid-friendly boards, traditional meat-and-cheese charcuterie, Hocus Pocus boards, breakfast boards and candy boards — and closes with easy semi-homemade treat tricks using candy eyeballs. The post also lists the platters, cauldrons and tableware the author used for her own boards.
The plan
- Browse Instagram and Pinterest for Halloween board inspiration before you build your own
- Don't be intimidated by charcuterie boards — just pile snacks on in groupings and you're done
- Pick a style that fits your crowd: pink treat board, skull board, kid-friendly, traditional charcuterie, Hocus Pocus, breakfast or candy
- Gather board supplies (the author picked up most of hers at Trader Joes)
- Line your island or table with brown craft paper and lay out a 3 foot skeleton, then pile the goodies on top for a grazing table
- Serve mini cauldrons on the board for individual portions at parties
- Stock candy eyeballs — they turn almost any treat spooky
