Halloween Charcuterie Board

Directions

1. Pick a board or platter for your presentation. For smaller gatherings, a compact board works fine, and you can scale up to serve 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or more guests.
2. Select between one and three larger components such as cookies, fresh fruit, crackers, breadsticks, or meat options.
3. Pick two to three medium-sized items like miniature cookies, individually wrapped candy bars, or sliced hard cheese.
4. Choose two to three small items like M&M's, candied nuts, or other bite‑sized candies.
5. Begin arranging the largest items and any dips on the board, creating two or three small clusters.
6. Add the medium-sized items in small groupings around the board, filling in the gaps as you go.
7. Conclude by placing small piles of candies, chocolates, or nuts to cover any remaining empty spots.
8. Tip: Incorporate a mix of different shapes, sizes, and textures to make the board visually appealing.
9. Decorate with plastic spiders, bugs, or skeleton hands to give the tray a spooky Halloween feel.
