This Halloween appetizer platter combines multiple cheeses, cured meats, and dark fruits for a striking presentation. Arrange cheeses on a large board, add meats and fruits to fill the spaces, and serve with olives, nuts, and crackers. It's a perfect make-ahead snack for any spooky gathering.

Directions

Grab a large board or platter—an 18-by-15-inch cutting board works perfectly. Begin by arranging the cheese blocks in your preferred spots.

A good layout is placing cheeses in the four corners and center, slightly staggered. Set out small bowls for the olives and honey comb.

Next, add the charcuterie around the cheeses and begin positioning the fruit. Feel free to adjust, but once cheeses and bowls are set, the platter quickly takes shape.

Begin with the larger fruits—scatter purple grapes, then use blueberries, blackberries, and dried fruits to fill gaps. Sprinkle almonds and walnuts, and tuck in figs.
